Crosses were between D. melanogaster females heterozygous for the different transgenes tested (w; ϕ{transgene, w+}) and D. simulans Lhr1 males. Transgenes are denoted as φ{} in the table. The transgenes carry a copy of the w+ gene so the hybrid sons inheriting the transgene (genotype 2) were distinguished from their control siblings (genotype 1) by their eye-colour, except for cross 8 where D. melanogaster females homozygous for the integration site without an inserted transgene were mated to D. simulans Lhr1 males. NA = not applicable. RT = room temperature.
