The foraging gene affects adult but not larval olfactory-related behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.
This study investigates the ability of larvae and adult rover and sitter Drosophila melanogaster to detect and migrate towards the source of a fly medium attractant using larval plate assays and an adult olfactory trap assay. Allelic variation at the foraging locus which encodes a cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG) did not affect larval olfactory response in the larval plate assays. In contras...
متن کاملSynchronization of the Drosophila circadian clock by temperature cycles.
The natural light/dark and temperature cycles are considered to be the most prominent factors that synchronize circadian clocks with the environment. Understanding the principles of temperature entrainment significantly lags behind our current knowledge of light entrainment in any organism subject to circadian research. Nevertheless, several effects of temperature on circadian clocks are well u...
متن کاملThe Pyrexia transient receptor potential channel mediates circadian clock synchronization to low temperature cycles in Drosophila melanogaster.
Circadian clocks are endogenous approximately 24 h oscillators that temporally regulate many physiological and behavioural processes. In order to be beneficial for the organism, these clocks must be synchronized with the environmental cycles on a daily basis. Both light : dark and the concomitant daily temperature cycles (TCs) function as Zeitgeber ('time giver') and efficiently entrain circadi...
متن کاملAge, but Not Experience, Affects Courtship Gene Expression in Male Drosophila melanogaster
Mutation screens in model organisms have helped identify the foundation of many fundamental organismal phenotypes. An emerging question in evolutionary and behavioral biology is the extent to which these "developmental" genes contribute to the subtle individual variation that characterizes natural populations. A related question is whether individual differences arise from static differences in...
متن کاملDietary restriction affects lifespan but not cognitive aging in Drosophila melanogaster.
Dietary restriction extends lifespan in a wide variety of animals, including Drosophila, but its relationship to functional and cognitive aging is unclear. Here, we study the effects of dietary yeast content on fly performance in an aversive learning task (association between odor and mechanical shock). Learning performance declined at old age, but 50-day-old dietary-restricted flies learned as...
