Summary Yellow phenocopies ofDrosophila melanogaster were produced by raising larvae on α-DMT contaminated media. Using a survivorship test, the sensitive period for phenocopy induction was found to occur during the third larval instar of development, with increased survivorship at 1% α-DMT compared with lower concentrations. It was also found that treatment with α-DMT significantly slowed development. These findings are related to the relevant morphological and behavioral developmental pathways and to phenocopy induction.
