In the preface to Sir Vincent B. Wigglesworth's classic 1939 book
on insect physiology he asserted that insects provide an ideal
medium in which to study all the problems of physiology. A strong
case can be made as well for the use of insects as significant
systems for the study of behavior and genetics. Contributions to
genetics through decades of research on Drosophila species have
made this small fly the most important metazoan in genetics
research. At the same time, population and behavioral research on
insects and other invertebrates have provid ed new perspectives
that can be combined with the genetics approach. Through such in
tegrated research we are able to identify evolutionary genetics of
behavior as a highly signifi cant emerging area of interest. These
perspectives are ably described by Dr. Guy Bush in the introductory
chapter of this book. During March 21-24, 1983, many of the world's
leading scientists in invertebrate behavioral genetics were drawn
together in Gainesville, Florida, for a colloquium entitled
"Evolutionary Genetics of Invertebrate Behavior." This conference
was sponsored jointly by the Department of Entomology and
Nematology, University of Florida, chaired by Dr. Daniel Shankland,
and the Insect Attractants, Behavior and Basic Biology Research
Laboratory, U.S. Department of Agriculture, directed then by Dr.
Derrell Chambers.
