Male mating speed in Drosophila melanogaster: differences in genetic architecture and in relative performance according to female genotype.

Behavior genetics - 1 Jul 1993

Casares P, Carracedo M C, San Miguel E, Piñeiro R, Garcia-Florez L

Abstract excerpt

From a critical review of the literature on mating speed in Drosophila, the importance of fast mating in male fitness is questioned. The genetic architecture of male mating speed (MMS) has been evaluated in D. melanogaster through a populational analysis and a full 5 x 5 diallel cross between inbred lines. The results emphasize the fundamental role of the female genotype in both the absolute and the relative MMS...
