Abstract excerpt
The relationship between genes and quantitative behavioral traits involves complex regulatory networks. Identifying genes that operate in these regulatory pathways can be challenging, especially when dealing with dominant genetic factors. Our work has focused on a naturally occurring behavioral polymorphism in larval foraging behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. This polymorphism in larval foraging behavior...
