The heredity of rover/sitter, a naturally occurring polymorphism in the locomotory component of Drosophila melanogaster third instar larval foraging behaviour was analysed by comparing 16 reciprocal crosses made using isogenic rover and sitter parental strains. Results from both male and female data sets indicated that rover/sitter differences have an autosomal basis, with rover showing complete dominance over sitter. The Y-chromosome, permanent cytoplasmic factors, transient maternal factors and interactions between them made no significant contributions to rover/sitter inheritance. A minor X-chromosome effect was observed in the female data. Rover/sitter ratios in both males and females of the 16 reciprocal crosses were not significantly different from those expected assuming a one gene, complete dominance model of autosomal inheritance.
