title: Morphogenetic and growth related changes in lipids of Drosophila ananassae (Doleschall).
abstract: The lipid component of Drosophila ananassae have been identified qualitatively. Neutral and phospholipid fractions are specific for pupal, larval or adult extracts. Some of these lipid components are identical with those obtained from the temperate D. melanogaster and other species. This demonstrates biochemical convergence between geographically isolated species groups.
