Drosophila ananassae : Genetical and Biological Aspects

For the purposes of genetic research, Drosophila ananassae is a unique organism characterized by male recombination and high mutability, both involving chromosomal and extrachromosomal determinants, and by the Om-tom system.

Geneticists will appreciate having the scattered published and unpublished findings on this species presented in one compact volume.

The topics covered range from the life cycle and morphology of D. ananassae to population genetics and sexual behavior.

A catalog of mutants and an extensive bibliography are also included.
