In the eighties, we have studied a great number of natural populations of
Drosophila melanogaster in regard to the PM system of hybrid dysgenesis.
Ten years later, we would like to realise a similar analysis on worldwide
natural populations captured after 1992. Would it be possible for you to
supply us with addresses of laboratories or scientist that would be
likely to detain such Drosophila strains ? Of course, if strains recently
collected in natural populations (maintained as isofemale lines or in
masse culture) were available in your laboratory or nearby, we would be
grateful if you could send samples to us. We would also need the date and
country of capture, together with the number of fles at the origin of the
strain.
