Genetic changes in mating activity in laboratory strains of Drosophila subobscura.
Eleven populations of Drosophila subobscura that had been maintained in laboratory conditions during different periods of time were examined for evidence of genetic divergence in mating activity. The results indicate that mating activity increases with the time of maintenance under laboratory conditions.
