A dominant mutation Curly (Cy), frequently used as a marker on the second chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster, was previously shown to be suppressed by several factors, including larval crowding, low temperature, and fluorescent light. While the first two factors affect this mutation only partiall
Sepia (eyed) D. melanogaster females were allowed to enter 'bottle' populations of wildtype D. melanogaster flies at rare, sporadic intervals. The frequency of sepia-eyed individuals in these populations was determined much more by selective forces than by numbers of immigrant individuals. Populatio
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
