“…In a population of adult D . melanogaster from Japan, emigration activity increased when air temperatures were extreme (16 and 31°C) (Mikasa and Narise 1983). Larvae, like adults, may increase their wandering activity at extreme temperatures; this may result in greater pupation heights.…”

RODRIGUEZ, L., SOKOLOWSKI, M. B., and CARTON, Y. 1991. Intra-and inter-specific variation in pupation behaviours of Drosophila from different habitats. Can. J. . Isofemale strains of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans were collected from wet and dry habitats in Tunisia. These strains were used to study the effect of habitat (collection site) and laboratory rearing temperature on larval pupation behaviour of these species. Results showed that D. melanogaster isofemale strains from the wet habitat pupated significantly higher in vials than those from the drier habitat. In contrast, the pupation behaviour of D. simulans isofemale strains was not affected by habitat type. Significant intraspecific variation in pupation behaviour was found for both species from both habitats. The distance pupated away from food in vials was positively correlated to the distance pupated from fruit in a field-like assay. Plasticity for pupation height was found at 16 and 32°C for both species. Greater between-strain variation in pupation height was found for D. melanogaster at 32OC and for D. simulans at 16OC. The patterns of interspecific differences in larval pupation height paralleled those previously reported for adult behaviour patterns in these species. RODRIGUEZ, L., SOKOLOWSKI, M.

Ces souches ont servi a Ctudier les effets de I'habitat (site de rCcolte) et de la tempkrature d'Clevage en laboratoire sur le comportement de nymphose larvaire chez ces espkces. Les rCsultats ont dCmontrC que les souches d'isofemelles de D. melanogaster de I'habitat humide faisaient leur nymphose beaucoup plus haut, dans 1'Cprouvette que celles des habitats secs. En revanche, le comportement de nymphose des souches d'isofemelles de D. simulans n'Ctait pas affect6 par le type d'habitat. Une variation intraspkcifique significative dans le comportement de nymphose a Ct C trouvCe chez les deux espkces dans les deux habitats. La distance entre le site de nymphose et la source de nourriture dans les Cprorlvettes Ctait en corrklation positive avec la distance entre des fruits et la distance du site de nymphose au cours d7expCriences de simulation en nature. La hauteur du site de la nymphose s'est avCrCe assez souple a 16 et a 32OC chez les deux espkces. C'est chez D. melanogaster a 32°C et chez D. simulans a 16°C que la variation entre les souches s'est avCrCe la plus grande. Les variations des diffkrences interspCcifiques quant a la hauteur du site de nymphose correspondent aux variations enregistrkes au cours d'Ctudes du comportement des adultes chez ces espkces.[Traduit par la revue]

Intraspecific variation in the effects of mating on the emigration response behavior and fecundity of Drosophila melanogaster was investigated using isofemale lines of the Himeji population in Japan. The emigration activities of the mated and unmated females were examined with Sakai's population system. The isofemale lines were classified into two groups with respect to the effect of mating on emigration activity; 1) copulation decreased the emigration activity in 26 out of 28 isofemale lines, and 2) higher emigration activity was noted in the mated than in the unmated females in two lines. The percentage of expressed genotypic variance on emigration activity was higher in the unmated females than in the mated ones. Gregarious oviposition did not seem to be related to the decrease of emigration activity in the mated females.

Temperature-influenced emigration behavior of Drosophila melanogaster was examined over the range of 16-31°C with Sakai's migration system using 33 isogenic lines derived from a natural population. Interaction of genotype with temperature was an important factor for emigration response behavior to temperature.Three emigration response patterns (linear, optimum-temperature, and threshold-temperature response) were found among isogenic lines in a natural population and quantitative differences were also detected in each type. The maintenance of genetic variability for temperature-influenced emigration behavior would provide evolutionary flexibility to a population under changing temperature conditions.
