Seven generations of selection for high and low spontaneous locomotor activity were made in the wild-laboratory strain Oregon of Drosophila melanogaster. Great care was taken to select for activity and not for reactivity. In opposition with the non totally unambiguous results obtained by another author, absolutely no response to selection could be obtained. Thus the Oregon strain of Drosophila melanogaster does not appear to possess any additive genetic variance for spontaneous locomotor activity. Yet before taking for granted that that conclusion is applicable to all strains of Drosophila melanogaster an experimental selection should be performed again using a freshly captured wild strain.
在黑腹果蝇的野生实验室品系俄勒冈品系中，对高自发运动活性和低自发运动活性进行了七代选择。在选择过程中非常谨慎，只选择活性而不选择反应性。与另一位作者获得的并非完全明确的结果相反，未获得对选择的任何反应。因此，黑腹果蝇的俄勒冈品系似乎不具有任何关于自发运动活性的加性遗传方差。然而，在理所当然地认为该结论适用于所有黑腹果蝇品系之前，应该使用新捕获的野生品系再次进行实验选择。
