摘要: A comparison of pupation height in light and dark was made using 12 species ofDrosophila, representing four groups different ecological backgrounds (temperate-montane forest,virilis group desert,replate group; cosmopolitanmelanogaster tropical forest,willistoni group). Light condition has a significant effect on only two the species. In light,D. montana stays close to food surface, whileD. melanogaster pupates higher than dark. Light-dependent patterns response do not correspond those previously reported for light-dependent mating response. Considerable interspecific variation exists each triad, some which could provide basis larval niche separation. Patterns differences desertrepleta triad are same darkness.
