Abstract
Summary J. Bouletreau-Merle: Comparison of ovarian fonction between virgin females and inseminated females of Drosophila melanogaster. In mated Drosophila female, fed on normal medium, oogenesis and vitellogenesis start immediately after adult molt so that an important production of matured oocytes is quickly reached. These eggs are rapidely laid. This female shows few resorptions and the rate of follicules production by the germarium is approximately equal to the fecundity. In virgin female, the ovarian activity is the same during the first day. But, since the second day, important differences appear: matured oocytes are in total retention, the frequency of resorptions is higher and the oocytes production by the germarium decreases. After the 5th day, the female begins to lay more of its eggs and matured oocytes in retention disappear progressively. The germarium activity and vitellogenesis increase slowly but never reach the high level observed in mated females.
