Polygenic control of a mating signal in Drosophila.

Heredity - 1 Oct 1996

Pugh A R, Ritchie M G

Abstract excerpt

Recent findings show that traits which influence speciation in the melanogaster subgroup of Drosophila can be determined by relatively few loci and/ or be sex-linked. Using backcrosses between D. simulans and D. mauritiana, we show that an acoustic mating signal which plays an important role in courtship (the interpulse interval of the 'lovesong') has a polygenic determination. There is no evidence of single...
