Mating success associated with the white gene in Drosophila melanogaster
Characteristics of mating behavior in Drosophila melanogaster have been well-described, but the genetic basis for male-female mating success is largely unknown. Here we show that the white (w) gene, a classical eye color gene, is associated with mating success. 81.3 % of wild-type flies copulated within 60 minutes in the circular arenas, whereas few white-eyed mutants mated successfully. The w+...
متن کاملThe cost of mating rises nonlinearly with copulation frequency in a laboratory population of Drosophila melanogaster.
Previous studies of Drosophila melanogaster have demonstrated a cost to females from male courtship and mating, but two critically important parameters remain unresolved: (i) the degree to which harm from multiple-mating reduces lifetime fitness and (ii) how harm from mating might change with successive matings (rematings). Here we use 'laboratory island analysis' to quantify the costs that fem...

The Pseudoallelism of White and Apricot in Drosophila Melanogaster.
In summary it can be stated that in Bx' the sy)+, Bx+, fu+ loci as well as x, a locus to the right of fu+, are duplicated'. The classical example of multiple allelism is the series of eye-color mutants at the white (w) locus in Drosophila melanogaster. The altemative interpretation of this series, namely, that it is made up of "pseudoalleles," or closely linked genes with similar effects, has u...
متن کاملComparison of targeted-gene replacement frequencies in Drosophila melanogaster at the forked and white loci.
P element-induced gene conversion has been previously used to modify the white gene of Drosophila melanogaster in a directed fashion. The applicability of this approach of gene targeting in Drosophila melanogaster, however, has not been analyzed quantitatively for other genes. We took advantage of the P element-induced forked allele, f(hd), which was used as a target, and we constructed a vecto...
