Asymmetric response to directional selection for licking behavior of Drosophila melanogaster males.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jan 1992

Welbergen P, van Dijken F R

Abstract excerpt

Selection for high and low licking rate was carried out on courting males of a cage-population of Drosophila melanogaster for 21 generations. The males were tested against a standard female tester genotype in every generation. The low-scoring line responded linearly to selection, reaching a plateau after eight generations. The attempt to raise the licking rate above the level of the base population was not...
