Abstract:
In Drosophila melanogaster daily fecundity has been recorded throughout life of flies kept at various gravity levels (1-5 g). Hypergravity (HG) did not decrease total fecundity but modified its expression during life. The 1 g group could be opposed to the various HG groups, i.e. a clear regression of the various fecundity items on the HG level could not be disclosed. Results are discussed in relation with Pearl's rate of living theory.
