We have studied the active dispersal behaviour of Drosophila subobscum Coll. in a citrus orchard near Preveza (in N. W. Greece) following the experimental design proposed by Crumpacker & Williams and using fluorescent dusts to mark wild animals captured which were subsequently released. The paramete

The multiple insemination of Drosophila subobscura females in nature was studied by the analysis of single female offspring using two highly polymorphic enzyme systems. On qualitative grounds it was found that 23% of these females were inseminated at least twice. The 'power of detection' of one enzy
Gametic frequencies in five natural populations of D. subobscura were obtained by means of extracting wild chromosomes and subsequently analyzing them for inversions and allozymes. The results suggest that populations with a lower degree of chromosomal variation are genetically as variable as popula
The inversion polymorphism and the allozyme variability of a wild Drosophila mbobscura population from the Caucasus (U.S.S.R.) was studied and compared to other populations from Scotland, Scandinavia, Central Europe and North Africa. The Caucasus sample proved highly polymorphic with respect to inve
A number of experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster either monochromosomal (e.g. isogenic) or polychromosomal (e.g. random heterozygous) with respect to their second chromosome were obtained by use of the L Cy/Pm marker strain. All populations were initially lethal free. Every other gene
Natural populations of Drosophila robusta are polymorphic for chromosomal gene arrangements in most of its range, the deciduous forests of North America east of the Rocky Mountains. Many of the gene arrangements are the result of paracentric inversions on both arms of the metacentric second chromoso
