Abstract excerpt
The Hawaiian fly species, Drosophila silvestris and D. heteroneura, are sympatric and interfertile but show strong behavioural isolation and major differences in male aggressive behaviour and the associated morphology. As a first step in elucidating the genetic control of the differences between these species, we examined the mating and aggressive behaviour of their reciprocal F1 hybrids. The latency to the first...
