Genetics of food preference in Drosophila sechellia. I. Responses to food attractants.
Olfactory responses and oviposition preferences of this species were compared with those of closely related polyphagous species, D. simulans and D. melanogaster and suggested that the species differences in these behaviors are controlled by gene(s) located on the second chromosome.
Genetics of food preference inDrosophila sechellia
To reveal the genetic mechanism of host selection in a monophagous fruit flyDrosophila sechellia, olfactory responses and oviposition preferences of this species were compared with those of closely…
