Abstract
Four D. melanogaster strains characterized by different alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activities were compared for their oviposition site preferences. The comparison was made between different temperatures (15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C), day and night, replicates, and different concentrations in ethanol (00%, 5%, 10%, 15%) in the medium. All these factors influence behaviour. ADH activities seem to affect the oviposition site preferences as they directly affect ethanol tolerance and the ability to use alcohol as a source of metabolic energy.
