Abstract: 
Population dispersal of D. melanogaster in the wild was studied with the release and recapture of 60,000 flies from 2 photonegative selection lines and their photopositive control. There is evidence of phototaxis-dependent habitat choice of at least one photonegative population. For this reason, phototactic behavior measured in Y mazes could be of evolutionary significance in D. melanogaster.
