Article Description

A new D. Melanogaster prepupation behavior, "embedding," is described. Prior to pupation, some larvae burrow through the agar and pupate at the end of the burrowed tunnel with the posterior end of their body embedded in the agar. Embedding behavior is studied in laboratory-and field-derived stocks under two light regimes and in two test dishes. The chromosomal constitution of the strains (in particular the third pair of autosomes) significantly affected differences in embedding behavior. Differences in embedding behavior were also affected by light regime but not by test dish. © 1985 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
