Courtship behavior in Drosophila.

remain to be discovered. Amazingly, 25% of the known species are endemic to the Hawaiian Islands (12). Drosophila have a number of characteristics which enhance their value for behav­ ioral studies. They are small but not minute organisms (2-7 mm), have a short generation time (10-30 days), and an adult life span of several weeks to several months. Many species can be successfully reared and maintained in the laboratory. Single-pair matings are easily achiev ed, and thus flies of known pedigree can be studied. Field-captured specimens of species which cannot be bred in the laboratory can be maintained for periods of time in healthy condition on normal laboratory diets so that their behaviors may be studied. Significantly, laboratory-reare d or maintained specimens
