Title
#2 MARGARET BASTOCK'S YELLOW MUTANTS.
Abstract
The article discusses research by Margaret Bastock, published in the journal "Evolution" in 1956, which demonstrated the profound influence of a single gene mutation on complex animal behavior, leading to a shift towards a gene-centered understanding of behavior in various fields. Topics include the use of Drosophila to study genetic changes in behavior, the quantification of courtship behavior, and the implications of Bastock's findings for neuroscience and other disciplines.
