“…In the present and previously performed investigations (ASLUND andRASMUSON 1976, ASLUND 1977) concerning Est-6 and Lap-A polymorphisms in Drosophila melanogaster various selective differences have been found among allozyme morphs. The allozyme variation has been found to exert quite a strong influence upon performances involved in mating behaviour, such as mating time, mating activity, mating competition and male mating capacity, and these selective differences among genotypes have been found able to give rise to balanced polymorphism.…”

The components of phenotypic variation for mating activity, fertility and egg-adult viability were estimated in the leucine aminopeptidase-A and esterased allozyme systems in Drosophila melanogasfer. It was shown that variation among separate genotypes of these enzyme systems contributed considerably to the total phenotypic variation. For mating activity and fertility, 24% and 12% respectively of the total phenotypic variation was attributed to differences among allozyme genotypes, whereas for viability this component only amounted to 4%.

Genotypic differences in mating success and the maintenance of the alcohol dehydrogenase polymorphism inDrosophila melanogaster: No evidence for overdominance or rare genotype mating advantage

1980

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Strains of Drosophila melanogaster having different alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) genotypes (FF, FS, or SS) were assembled in a mating chamber in varying ratios, and the mating successes were recorded. In experiments with a 25:25 ratio, the FF males succeeded in mating more than did FS and SS males, while the FS males surpassed the SS males. As for the females, FF also surpassed SS. In experiments with a 5:45 or 45:5 ratio, some differences from the 25:25 ratio occurred, but in these cases the rare genotypes were at a disadvantage. In one case, female genotypes (FF vs. SS) displayed a difference in mating latency time, but male genotypes did not. The findings did not suggest that rare genotype mating advantage and overdominance in mating success play a role in the maintenance of the Adh polymorphism.

1978. The effects of number of Y chromosomes on mating behaviour and bristle number in Drosophila melanogaster. -Hereditas 89:24%254.Lund. Sweden.The effects of the dosage of Y chromosomes on some metrical characters in Drosophila melanogaster have been investigated. XO and XYY males were found to be considerably inferior than XY males in regard to mating activity, mating capacity and mating competition ability, while X X Y females did not differ from XX females in the studied mating characteristics. Similarly. deviation in the Y chromosome number affected sternopleural bristle number significantly in males but not in females as well as carrying with it an increased developmental instability with respect to intraindividual bristle frequencies. The effect of the differences in mating activity among males with different numbers of Y chromosomes is a strong stabilizing selection for the XYlXX sets of sex chromosomes.
