Genetic architecture of natural variation in Drosophila melanogaster aggressive behavior.
Aggression is an evolutionarily conserved complex behavior essential for survival and the organization of social hierarchies. With the exception of genetic variants associated with bioamine signaling, which have been implicated in aggression in many species, the genetic basis of natural variation in aggression is largely unknown. Drosophila melanogaster is a favorable model system for exploring...
متن کاملScribble is essential for olfactory behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.
The ability to discriminate and respond to chemical signals from the environment is an almost universal prerequisite for survival. Here, we report that the scaffold protein Scribble is essential for odor-guided behavior in Drosophila. Previously, we identified a P-element insert line with generalized sexually dimorphic smell impairment, smi97B. We found that the transposon in this line is locat...
متن کاملThe Genetic Basis for Variation in Olfactory Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
The genetic underpinnings that contribute to variation in olfactory perception are not fully understood. To explore the genetic basis of variation in olfactory perception, we measured behavioral responses to 14 chemically diverse naturally occurring odorants in 260400 flies from 186 lines of the Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel, a population of inbred wild-derived lines with sequ...
متن کاملGenetic and Neural Regulation of Aggressive Behavior in Drosophila Melanogaster
Environmental as well as genetic factors can modulate aggressiveness, but the biological mechanisms underlying their influence are largely unknown. Social experience with conspecifics suppresses aggressiveness in both vertebrate and invertebrate species, including Drosophila. We have searched for genes whose expression levels correlate with the influence of social experience on aggressiveness i...
متن کاملGenetic Architecture of Abdominal Pigmentation in Drosophila melanogaster
Pigmentation varies within and between species and is often adaptive. The amount of pigmentation on the abdomen of Drosophila melanogaster is a relatively simple morphological trait, which serves as a model for mapping the genetic basis of variation in complex phenotypes. Here, we assessed natural variation in female abdominal pigmentation in 175 sequenced inbred lines of the Drosophila melanog...
