Abstract
The aim of this research was to examine the temporal patterns of spontaneous
locomotor activity in Drosophila subobscura virgin females and males from
isofemale lines collected from beech and oak forests and maintained in
controlled laboratory conditions for five full-sib inbreeding generations.
The flies were monitored in a circular open field arena for 30 min in the
morning (8:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 11:00 AM). The distance travelled and
the mobility of the flies decreased along with the registration time, whereby
the slowest decreasing was observed at 8:00 AM. Females showed a greater
range of variability in both parameters compared to males. In addition, there
was a greater range of variability in the locomotor activities of flies from
the oak forest compared to the beech. These findings could be attributed to
their specific genetic background.
