Divergent directional selection for high and low pupation height was practiced in D. melanogaster. A quick response was observed in the two directions of selection. This is the first time selection for low pupation sites was successful. Realized heritabilities were 18% and 13% for the high and low l
Strains of Drosophila melanogaster homozygous for either the AdhF or the AdhS allele were kept on food supplemented with ethanol for 20 generations. These strains (FE and SE) were tested for tolerance to ethanol and compared with control strains (FN and SN). The E strains showed increased tolerance
