Predatory cannibalism in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
Hunting live prey is risky and thought to require specialized adaptations. Therefore, observations of predatory cannibalism in otherwise non-carnivorous animals raise questions about its function, adaptive significance and evolutionary potential. Here we document predatory cannibalism on larger conspecifics in Drosophila melanogaster larvae and address its evolutionary significance. We found th...
متن کاملStabilizing selection in Drosophila melanogaster.
Stabilizing selection operates on egg length in Drosophila melanogaster. The percentage of eggs hatching decreases with departure from the population mean size; this effect cannot be explained by the model of neutral variation in a quantitative character. The finding of stabilizing selection agrees with expectations for a character inherited primarily through additive effects.
متن کاملAconitase and Developmental EndPointsasEarly IndicatorsofCellularToxicity Induced by Xenobiotics in Drosophila Melanogaster
Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system. Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...
متن کاملeffects of oral morphine on the larvae, pupae and imago development in drosophila melanogaster
objective: previous studies, focusing on the effects of abused drugs, have used mice or rats as the main animal models; the present study tries to introduce a simple animal model. for this propose, we investigated the effects of oral morphine consumption by parents on the development of larvae, pupae and imago in drosophila melanogaster (d. melanogaster). materials and methods: in this experime...
متن کاملArchitecture of the primary taste center of Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
A simple nervous system combined with stereotypic behavioral responses to tastants, together with powerful genetic and molecular tools, have turned Drosophila larvae into a very promising model for studying gustatory coding. Using the Gal4/UAS system and confocal microscopy for visualizing gustatory afferents, we provide a description of the primary taste center in the larval central nervous sy...
