Genetic and Neural Mechanisms that Inhibit Drosophila from Mating with Other Species

Genetic and Neural Mechanisms that Inhibit Drosophila from Mating with Other Species: Pu Fan, Devanand S. Manoli, Osama M. Ahmed, Yi Chen, Neha Agarwal, Sara Kwong, Allen G. Cai, Jeffrey Neitz, Adam Renslo, Bruce S. Baker, Nirao M. Shah. Genetically hard-wired neural mechanisms must enforce behavioral reproductive isolation because interspecies courtship is rare even in sexually naïve animals of most species. We find that the chem....
