研究表明，黄色突变雄性果蝇的求偶模式发生了变化，这可以解释它们交配成功率下降的原因。翅膀的展示被证明可以提供雌性触角感知到的重要刺激，以较短的次数、较长的时间间隔进行。假设突变通过影响性动机来改变行为模式。所展示的变化与密切相关的动物物种之间的行为差异相似；并讨论了一些进化意义。
It is demonstrated that yellow mutant males of Drosophila melanogaster have a changed pattern of courtship which could explain their reduced mating success. The wing display, which is shown to provide important stimuli perceived by the female''s antennae, is given in shorter bouts, at longer intervals. A hypothesis is developed that the mutation changes the behavior pattern by affecting sexual motivation. The demonstrated change parallels behavior differences between closely related species of animals; and some evolutionary implications are discussed.
