Description
Field Methods:
Fly collections. Drosophila will be collected from forests during summer months (May to October) by sweep-netting or aspirating over naturally-occurring mushrooms. In some instances, boiled and thus killed commercial mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus) will be set out as baits. In addition, flies may be bred from field-collected mushrooms.
Laboratory maintenance of fly cultures. In the laboratory, the culture medium consists of Instant Drosophila medium (Carolina Biological), a small piece of commercial mushroom, and a dental cotton roll, which serves as a pupation site. Cultures are maintained at 20C, 60%RH, and 14:10 light:dark schedule.
