✦ Synopsis

Sterility and changes in testis structure are described in hybrid males produced by crossing male recombination (MR) lines to standard laboratory stocks. Although the sterility is directly correlated with chromosome breakage in crosses of certain MR lines, not all MR lines express sterility or testis abnormalities in the same way. The main significance of this study, therefore, is that it provides a discussion of strain differences in the expression of different components of hybrid dysgenesis.

As a rule, progeny of crosses between Drosophila simulans females and D. melanogaster males are formed by sterile males, because females die as embryos. However, populations of these species have been found that produce a certain frequency of viable hybrid females. We have found that 94% of the fema
