The effect of single allele substitutions into an isogenic background in Oregon-R inbred lines of Drosophila melanogaster on courtship and mating patterns has been studied. A comparison has been made between the white locus w, wco, we, the wild type w+, cn, bw, and cn bw to test the effect of eye pigmentation in influencing courtship and mating patterns. It was found that w, we, wco, cn, and bw females were more successful in mating than were wild-type and cn bw females, cn bw females being less successful than wild-type females. Also, w and cn bw males were equally successful in mating but less successful than wild-type males during the 20-min test period. The mutant males performed as well as the wild-type after courtship was initiated. The behavioral parameters measured were (1) courtship latency, the time from exposure of male to female until orientation; (2) mating speed, the time from beginning of orientation of male to female until successful copulation, and (3) copulation time.
研究了将单个等位基因替换导入黑腹果蝇俄勒冈 - R近交系的同基因背景中对求偶和交配模式的影响。对白眼基因座w、wco、we、野生型w +、cn、bw以及cn bw进行了比较，以测试眼睛色素沉着对求偶和交配模式的影响。结果发现，w、we、wco、cn和bw雌性比野生型和cn bw雌性在交配方面更成功，cn bw雌性比野生型雌性成功率低。此外，在20分钟的测试期内，w和cn bw雄性在交配方面同样成功，但比野生型雄性成功率低。求偶开始后，突变雄性的表现与野生型一样好。所测量的行为参数包括：（1）求偶潜伏期，即雄性接触雌性到开始定向的时间；（2）交配速度，即雄性开始定向雌性到成功交配的时间；（3）交配时间。
