Natural genetic variation in complex mating behaviors of male Drosophila melanogaster.

abstract：:Bullying comes in different forms, yet most previous genetically-sensitive studies have not distinguished between them. Given the serious consequences and the high prevalence of bullying, it is remarkable that the aetiology of bullying and its different forms has been under-researched. We present the first study to in...
