Hydrocarbon Patterns and Mating Behaviour in Populations of Drosophila yakuba

Hydrocarbon Patterns and Mating Behaviour in Populations of Drosophila yakuba

Drosophila yakuba is widespread in Africa. Here we compare the cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC) profiles and mating behavior of mainland (Kounden, Cameroon) and island (Mayotte, Sao-Tome, Bioko) populations. The strains each had different CHC profiles: Bioko and Kounden were the most similar, while Mayot...
