Résumé

Chacune de 16 souches, filiations de femelles uniques, et fécondées dans la nature, montrait une proportion caractéristique de mouches ayant plus de 4 soies scutellaires (soies supplémentaires). La sélection pour soies supplémentaires allait à une vitesse bien plus grande chez les lignées portant un haut niveau de soies supplémentaires que chez les lignées où ce niveau était plus bas. Ces résultats ont une répercussion importante sur la théorie des expériences de sélection.
