    Notes: Abstract Selection for high and low locomotor activity has been applied in two base populations ofDrosophila melanogaster of distinct geographical origin. From each base population a high and a low line were selected, in which anesthesia was performed with ether. In addition, from one of the base populations a high line and a low line were selected under CO2 narcosis. Locomotor activity was measured in an apparatus consisting of rows of 20 tubes in a line. Heritabilitities in the base populations determined in progeny tests were approximately 10%. Divergent directional selection was successful with realized heritabilities of similar value.

    Notes: Abstract Divergent directional selection produced three pairs of lines each consisting of a line with high and a line with low locomotor activity. Reciprocal crosses between the high and low lines of one of these pairs showed that a considerable part of the activity differences was contributed by differences between the X chromosomes. This was confirmed by a substitution of the three large chromosomes, between the low and the high lines. The two large autosomal chromosomes had only minor effects. Interactions between chromosomes were sometimes significant. Low-activity alleles tended to be dominant over alleles for high activity.
