Abstract
Courtship in Drosophila was studied using mutations. Some of these variants define genes that appear to be involved in specific steps of the stereotyped actions of courtship. Other mutations that affect reproductive behavior have visual or olfactory defects. Mutants with abnormalities of higher functions reveal connections among courtship, learning and circadian rhythmicity.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
