Experientia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Zusammenfassung

Die lokomotorische Aktivität von adultenDrosophila melanogaster zeigt einen Tagesrhythmus, der während der dreitägigen Reifungsperiode zunimmt und in Weibchen ausgeprägter ist als in Männchen. Die Periodizität der Putzhandlungen ist weniger ausgeprägt und ändert sich nicht, doch nimmt die Frequenz der Putzhandlungen bei den reifen Fliegen ab. Es wird ein reziproker Zusammenhang zwischen Putzfrequenz und sexueller Aktivität festgestellt.
