Inheritance of male courtship sound characteristics in Drosophila littoralis.

Behavior genetics - 1 May 1990

Hoikkala A, Lumme J

Abstract excerpt

Males of Drosophila littoralis vibrate their wings during courtship to deliver a "love song." This consists of 25- to 50-ms-long pulses with a basic frequency of about 250-400 Hz, separated by 250- to 500-ms pauses. When recording the sounds of flies from several localities in Europe, we found that males of one strain from northern Finland displayed courtship sounds with an unusually low wing beat frequency...
