Contribution of larval nutrition to adult reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster.
Within the complex life cycle of holometabolous insects, nutritional resources acquired during larval feeding are utilized by the pupa and the adult. The broad features of the transfer of larval resources to the pupae and the allocation of larval resources in the adult have been described by studies measuring and tracking macronutrients at different developmental stages. However, the mechanisms...
متن کاملThe role of larval fat cells in starvation resistance and reproduction in adult Drosophila melanogaster
The Role of Larval Fat Cells in Starvation Resistance and Reproduction in Adult Drosophila melanogaster by Jerell Roland Aguila Dr. Deborah K. Hoshizaki, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Life Sciences University of Nevada, Las Vegas The intricate life cycle of holometabolous insects includes well-defined larval and adult stages associated with feeding and non-feeding periods. ...
متن کاملThe role of larval fat cells in adult Drosophila melanogaster.
In the life history of holometabolous insects, distinct developmental stages are tightly linked to feeding and non-feeding periods. The larval stage is characterized by extensive feeding, which supports the rapid growth of the animal and allows accumulation of energy stores, primarily in the larval fat body. In Drosophila melanogaster access to these stores during pupal development is possible ...
متن کاملDissection of larval CNS in Drosophila melanogaster.
The central nervous system (CNS) of Drosophila larvae is complex and poorly understood. One way to investigate the CNS is to use immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of various novel and marker proteins. Staining of whole larvae is impractical because the tough cuticle prevents antibodies from penetrating inside the body cavity. In order to stain these tissues it is necessary to disse...
متن کاملMagnetic compass orientation by larval Drosophila melanogaster.
We report evidence for magnetic compass orientation by larval Drosophila melanogaster. Groups of larvae were exposed from the time of hatching to directional ultraviolet (365nm) light emanating from one of four magnetic directions. Larvae were then tested individually on a circular agar plate under diffuse light in one of four magnetic field alignments. The larvae exhibited magnetic compass ori...
