The genetic basis of female pheromone differences between Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans.

Heredity - 1 Jan 2019

Pardy Jessica A, Rundle Howard D, Bernards Mark A, Moehring Amanda J

Abstract excerpt

Chemical signals are one means by which many insect species communicate. Differences in the combination of surface chemicals called cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) can influence mating behavior and affect reproductive isolation between species. Genes influencing three CHC compounds have been identified in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the genetic basis of other CHC compounds, whether these genes affect species...
