Measurement of larval activity in the Drosophila activity monitor.
Drosophila larvae are used in many behavioral studies, yet a simple device for measuring basic parameters of larval activity has not been available. This protocol repurposes an instrument often used to measure adult activity, the TriKinetics Drosophila activity monitor (MB5 Multi-Beam Activity Monitor) to study larval activity. The instrument can monitor the movements of animals in 16 individua...
متن کاملGamete Release and Spawning Behavior in Broadcast Spawning Marine Invertebrates
The release of eggs and sperm into the environment for external fertilization is common (Giese & Kanatani 1987) and thought to be the ancestral mating strategy (Wray 1995). Most phyla have at least some species that release sperm into the environment (free spawning or spermcasting) and a majority have representatives that also release eggs (broadcast spawning) for external fertilization (Levita...

متن کاملAntifungal peptides in marine invertebrates
A majority of terrestrial and marine organisms use to fend off a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi by employing “antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)” that are ribosomally synthesized from proteinogenic amino acids. AMPs are a primary component of innate immune mechanisms in marine invertebrates. In contrast, marine sponges seem to contain no AMPs, but often contain nonribosom...
متن کاملAntimicrobial peptides from marine invertebrates.
Marine invertebrates lack an acquired, memory-type immunity based on T-lymphocyte subsets and clonally derived immunoglobulins (72). This differs from the vertebrate immune system, which is characterized by somatic gene rearrangement, clonal selection, and expansion and a discriminative ability that includes lymphocytes, among other factors, which impart specificity and memory (71). Marine inve...
