Abstract excerpt
We describe six new mutants, spontaneous or EMS-induced, and a previously isolated radiation-induced mutant of Megaselia scalaris Loew (Diptera, Phoridae). Five are eye-color mutants, one affects the segmentation of the abdomen, and one disturbs the regular form and arrangement of ommatidia in the compound eye. A complementation test exposed two pairs of alleles among the five eye-color mutants, leaving three...
