Ovulation stimulating substances in Drosophila biarmipes males: their origin, genetic variation in the response of females, and molecular characterization.

Abstract excerpt

Ovulation responses of Drosophila biarmipes females to an injection of methanolic extract from conspecific males vary with the strains of females. This strain difference seems to be controlled by a small number of autosomal genes, with low responsiveness being recessive. Strangely, all D. biarmipes strains show a high level of ovulation after mating. We pursued the reason for this discrepancy and found that D....
