Wing-beat frequency mutants and courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster males.

Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 1998

Barnes P T, Sullivan L, Villella A

Abstract excerpt

Flightless mutations that affect wing-beat frequency (WBF) of Drosophila melanogaster were examined for their effect on male courtship. WBFs were measured using a fixed-wire tether that completely supports the fly in an attitude similar to hovering flight. The two spontaneous mutations, one of which reduces WBF to one-half normal and the other to zero, were placed on an isogenic background and were compared to an...
