Abstract excerpt

The locomotor activity rhythms of 24 isochromosomal strains of Drosophila melanogaster were recorded in constant conditions, using an experimental design suitable for the serial screening with so many strains using limited equipment. The data obtained were subjected to biometrical genetic analysi...
