Özet:

 

The objective of this study was to test the generality of frequency-dependent fitness in the  mating behavior of Drosophila, called the minority effect and to investigate the effect of artificial  olfactory cues and marking the flies by wing cillipng on the frequency-dependent mate choice. In the  mating experiments using wild type (oregon) and mutant (white-eyed, sepia, ebony) strains of  Drosophila melanogaster, the mating success of mutant males did not increase as their frequency  decreased. In addition, the olfactory cue hypothesis was not supported by the results of the  experiments with artificial scent. The results of this study did not support the contention that rareale  advantage is a general phenomenon. Therefore raremale advantage is probably not an important  factor maintaining genetic variation in natural populations of Drosophila.
