A non-intrusive optical technique has been developed to monitor heartbeat in late third-instar Drosophila larvae. Heartbeat in this insect is an oscillation that is not temperature compensated. Deuterium oxide lengthens the period of a number of high and low frequency oscillators and clocks in a var

Strong sexual isolation established between D. melanogaster long-term cage populations (originated from common parents and being under selection pressure since 1972) is maintained (with a tendency to increase) for twelve years after the origin of the populations. The sexual isolation is also maintai
The effects of inbreeding, with (IS) and without selection (IO) for reproductive fitness, on inbreeding depression and heterozygosity were evaluated in 20 lines of each treatment inbred over seven generations using full-sib mating. The survival of lines was significantly greater in IS (20/20) than i
We have examined the effects of density and frequency in the larval competition of Drosophila melanogaster by measuring three fitness components: viability (V), mean development time (MDT) and a combination of these two (E). We have detected (contrary to most published results) non-linear effects of
Ether treatment of embryos in successive generations results in the progressive increase in penetrance of the bithorm phenocopy in both a massbred and an inbred line of Drosophila melanogaster without artificial selection for the phenocopy. The involvement of cumulative cytoplasmic modifications is
