| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Insects are able to change their behavior in response to their own physiological state and surrounding environment. However, genetic basis that control this response is not known. Wide variation in behavior has been detected among isofemale strains of Drosophila prolongata. In this study, genetic analysis was conducted to identify the responsible loci for male courtship behavior and female mating receptivity. As a result, the position of a major locus contributing to female receptivity was narrowed down to the 2.5 Mb region on an autosome.
