Direct observation of sexual competition in Drosophila melanogaster: the mutant white in competition with other genotypes.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1990

Abstract excerpt

When two types of Drosophila are in competition, the frequency dependence of mating success routinely is measured in our laboratory by direct observation of mating pairs in "Elens-Wattiaux" observation chambers. The present experiments concern white mutants (used here as a reference standard) in competition with three other genotypes: wild-type Canton S, "giant" gt wa, and "giant" gt13z/w+ Y/C(1)Dx, y f. From the...
