Genetic Identification and Separation of Innate and Experience-Dependent Courtship Behaviors in Drosophila by Pan, Yufeng, Baker, Bruce S.

“…Wild-type D. melanogaster males innately possess the ability to perform a multistep courtship ritual to conspecific females. The potential for this behavior is…”
