Abstract excerpt

Isofemale lines of the cactophilic species, Drosophila buzzatii, exhibit genetic variation for their oviposition response to cactus yeast species in the laboratory. In general, interactions between yeast species preclude the use of pairwise preferences as predictors of preferences in three-way ch...
