Calcium inhibits ovarian steroidogenesis in the blowfly Phormia regina.
Calcium is frequently involved in the stimulation of steroidogenesis in gonads and endocrine glands, generally in association with cAMP. However, our present observations show that it has the opposite effect in the ovary of the blowfly Phormia regina. Our in vitro experiments first showed that extracellular calcium does not play a role during the stimulation of steroidogenesis in fly ovaries; i...
متن کاملIndividual differences, intelligence, and behavior analysis.
Despite its avowed goal of understanding individual behavior, the field of behavior analysis has largely ignored the determinants of consistent differences in level of performance among individuals. The present article discusses major findings in the study of individual differences in intelligence from the conceptual framework of a functional analysis of behavior. In addition to general intelli...
متن کاملGenetic Influences on Individual Differences in Exercise Behavior during Adolescence
The aim of this study was to investigate the degree to which genetic and environmental influences affect variation in adolescent exercise behavior. Data on regular leisure time exercise activities were analyzed in 8,355 adolescent twins, from three-age cohorts (13-14, 15-16, and 17-19 years). Exercise behavior was assessed with survey items about type of regular leisure time exercise, frequency...
متن کاملAn artificial sweetener stimulates the sweet taste in insect: dual effects of glycyrrhizin in Phormia regina.
Glycyrrhizin, found in the root of licorice (Glycyrrhizia glabra), has been used extensively as a non-sugar sweetener for humans and also as a medicine. As far as we know, the present work is the first report describing that a non-sugar sweetener for humans induces a sweet taste in insects. In behavioural experiments, we found that glycyrrhizin induced the feeding response, including full probo...
متن کاملLight-Induced Variability in Development of Forensically Important Blow Fly <i>Phormia regina</i> (Diptera: Calliphoridae)
The use of the postmortem interval (PMI) in practical applications of forensic entomology is based upon developmental data of blow ßies (Diptera: Calliphoridae) generated under controlled environmental conditions. Careful review of the published forensic entomology data sets showed that experimental (environmental) parameters differed between studies. Despite the differences in study design, th...
