In this study, we examined the effects of two developmental temperatures (18°C and 25°C) on the size and the symmetry of sex combs (a male sexual trait) and their importance for male mating success in Drosophila melanogaster. However, the number of sex comb teeth ("size") and its difference between right and left legs ("symmetry") were relevant neither to male mating success nor to the growth temperatures. © 2012 The Entomological Society of Japan. |
