摘要：

Big differences in the Drosophilid adults collected by traps placed within a short distance were observed during a study in tropical Africa. These can be explained mainly by divergent behavior towards man-made constructions. In most cases, adults strictly avoided entering buildings. On the other hand, some species, mainly D. melanogaster, appeared to concentrate within man-made constructions. This preference can be considered as a preadaptation which allowed exploitation of new, poorly competed food sources and also favored transportations with fruit shipments all over the world. © 1979 Birkhäuser Verlag.
