Abstract
Techniques and materials used to mark Drosophila melanogaster Meigen with fluorescent strains and a method for examining recaptured field-released flies are discussed. A rapid and general dispersal of dye-marked flies occurred after field releases, with some dye-marked individuals migrating up to 3 miles from release points. Rhodamine B was the most satisfactory stain tested.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
