Examining the Nature of Epistasis between wupA and for Incomplete Dominance at wupA and epistatic Interactions with for Alleles give Rise to a Gradient Effect in Foraging Behaviour

Foraging behaviour in Drosophila melanogaster larvae is influenced by natural allelic variation in the foraging (for) gene that encodes a cyclic GMP – dependent protein Kinase (PKG), such that rovers (forR) traverse greater distances while foraging than sitters (fors). Foraging behaviour is also inf...
