Abstract excerpt

The rover/sitter polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster larval behaviour is a unique example of a genetically determined, naturally occurring behavioural polymorphism. Allelic variation at the foraging locus (for) accounts for the rover (long foraging paths) and sitter (short foraging paths) phe...
