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. biarmip...
