Abstract excerpt
The interpulse interval of the courtship song of Drosophila melanogaster is a character which may play a significant role in mating success and reproductive isolation. Here we examine the variability of interpulse interval among replicated laboratory strains of D. melanogaster. There is no significant variation among populations of different geographical origin. This suggests that interpulse interval is subject...
