Abstract
Phototactic response of three distinct breeding populations of Drosophila melanogaster are compared through experimental maze runs and under differing light stimuli. While it is suggested that more meaningful results may depend on intensified selection pressure and studies of a greater number of generations, evidence from these observations indicates a clear difference in photo tactic behavior between the fly population drawn from laboratory stock subject to in-breeding and the positive responses of the two populations captured "wild" and thus reflecting the selection process of nature.
