使用果蝇和其他生物的实验室选择实验广泛用于实验生物学。特别是在D.黑腹动物的生活史和与压力有关的特征有助于发展新兴的实验进化领域。然而，类似的选择实验往往产生不一致的相关选择反应。不幸的是，选择实验容易受到难以控制的伪像的影响。尽管存在这些问题，选择实验仍然是一种有价值的研究工具，有助于我们理解自然种群的进化。
Laboratory selection experiments using Drosophila, and other organisms, are widely used in experimental biology. In particular, such experiments on D. melanogaster life history and stress-related traits have been instrumental in developing the emerging field of experimental evolution. However, similar selection experiments often produce inconsistent correlated responses to selection. Unfortunately, selection experiments are vulnerable to artifacts that are difficult to control. In spite of these problems, selection experiments are a valuable research tool and can contribute to our understanding of evolution in natural populations.
