Selection for high and low locomotor activity has been applied in two base populations of Drosophila melanogaster of distinct geographical origin. From each base population a high and a low line were selected, in which anesthesia was performed with ether. In addition, from one of the base populations a high line and a low line were selected under CO2 narcosis. Locomotor activity was measured in an apparatus consisting of rows of 20 tubes in a line. Heritabilities in the base populations determined in progeny tests were approximately 10%. Divergent directional selection was successful with realized heritabilities of similar value.
在两个地理起源不同的黑腹果蝇基础种群中进行了高运动活性和低运动活性的选择。从每个基础种群中分别选出一个高活性品系和一个低活性品系，其中麻醉使用乙醚进行。此外，从其中一个基础种群中在二氧化碳麻醉下选出一个高活性品系和一个低活性品系。运动活性在一个由排成一排的20根管组成的装置中进行测量。在子代测试中确定的基础种群中的遗传力约为10%。具有相似值的实际遗传力的发散定向选择是成功的。
