TL;DR
A comparison of the courtship behaviors of normal and genetically olfaction-deficient flies lends strong support to the hypothesis that the genetic upset or removal from courtship interactions of olfactory, visual, and auditory cues results in virtual behavioral sterility.

499 Citations1979Richard W. Siegel, Jeffrey C. Hall
The results suggest that fertilized females are a source of both courtship-provoking and Courtship-inhibiting olfactory cues and that the central association of these cues in males is sufficient to bring about the retention of modified courtship behavior.
Animal BehaviourThe control of sexual receptivity in female Drosophila
465 Citations1967Aubrey Manning
Evidence is presented that increase in juvenile hormone titre is responsible for the ‘switch-on’ of receptivity and the situation revealed in Drosophila is compared with that found in other insects, particularly with regard to the role of the endocrine system.
Behavior GeneticsA few chemical words exchanged byDrosophila during courtship and mating
462 Citations1984Jean‐Marc Jallon
Experimental evidence and speculation relative to chemical messages exchanged by Drosophila during courtship and mating are reviewed, and emphasis is put on female aphrodisiacs, as they clearly participate in sex and species recognition.

Behavior GeneticsThe role of female movement in the sexual behavior ofDrosophila melanogaster
185 Citations1982Laurie Tompkins, Anne C. Gross +3 more
Results suggest that males must perceive female movement to perform normal courtship and copulation, and suggest that females may stop moving before mating in response to olfactory cues.

173 Citations1983Laurie Tompkins, Richard W. Siegel +2 more
A new mutant strain is described whose males court and mate with wild-type, virgin females normally; but after such a mating, theWild-type female is readily courted by a wild- type male, and that male subsequently exhibits vigorous courtship of other females.

The axonal organization of the D. melanogaster optic lobe has been shown to depend on the transmission of information from the eyes to the optic lobes, and the axon array phenotype of the optic lobe depends on the genotype of the eye tissue innervating that lobe.

Seven mutant strains isolated for their inability to express avoidance conditioning were all found to be mutant with respect to expression of conditioned courtship, and results indicate that immature males constitutively release a chemical signal that is sufficient for the expression of conditioning courtship.
Behavior GeneticsGenetic and behavioral studies of female sex appeal inDrosophila
115 Citations1979Jean‐Marc Jallon, Yoshiki Hotta
It is demonstrated that females whose abdomens were amputated still retain enough sex appeal to induce male wing vibrations, and a possible involvement of the fat bodies in production of the sex appeal stimulus is discussed.

102 Citations1981Therese A. Markow, Stephen José Hanson
Correlation analyses failed to single out any particular male or female behaviors as being influential in controlling courtship duration, and transmission analysis carried out on the joint male/female transition matrix showed a higher transmission rate from males to females than from females to males.

By progressive removal of various sense organs, and testing for inter-male courtship in the absence or presence of females, it is demonstrated that D. melanogaster males require close-range, probably contact, chemical stimuli for the initiation of courtship.
