interaction between temperature and male pheromone in sexual isolation in drosophila melanogaster. | in drosophila, female hydrocarbons are known to be involved in premating isolation between different species and pheromonal races. the role of male-specific hydrocarbon polymorphism is not as well documented. the dominant cuticular hydrocarbon (chc) in male d. melanogaster is usually 7-tricosene (7-t), with the exception of african populations, in which 7-pentacosene (7-p) is dominant. here, we took advantage of a population from the comoro islands (com), in which males fell on a continuum of lo ... | 2013 | 23944628 |
