Abstract excerpt
In order to study the pupation site preference which is an important component of larval behaviour, pupation height was scored in Drosophila ananassae, D. bipectinata and D. malerkotliana by using a large number of strains of these species. The mean pupation height of different strains ranged from 1.1 to 8.7 mm in D. ananassae, from 0.41 to 0.75 mm in D. bipectinata and from 1.0 to 1.3 mm in D. malerkotliana. The...
