Sensitivity and specificity in Drosophila pheromone perception.
How the brain perceives volatile chemicals in the environment to evoke the appropriate behaviour is a fundamental question in sensory neuroscience. The olfactory system of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has emerged as a powerful model system to address this problem. Recent analysis of the molecular, neuroanatomical and physiological properties of the olfactory circuits that detect the ...
متن کاملPheromone perception and behavior in Drosophila.
Pheromones have essential roles in the social behavior of most animals. Studies of pheromone-driven behaviors are especially attractive in Drosophila melanogaster, because these insects are genetically and molecularly well characterized, have relatively simple central nervous systems compared with vertebrates, and yet they display complex behaviors controlled by sophisticated sensory systems. L...
متن کاملMulti-Robot Coverage: A Bee Pheromone Signalling Approach
In this paper we propose BeePCo, a multi-robot coverage approach based on honeybee colony behaviour. Specifically, we propose a honeybee inspired pheromone signalling method that allows a team of robots to maximise the total area covered in an environment in a distributed manner. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is experimentally evaluated on two different scenarios: when network con...
متن کاملReimagining pheromone signalling in the model nematode Caenorhabditis elegans
Overview Caenorhabditis elegans is an important, widely used developmental and genetic model. A pheromone has long been known to cause juvenile developmental arrest in C. elegans, a phenomenon that is common among nematodes more widely. Many novel effects of this pheromone are now being discovered—most recently, that exogenous supply of this pheromone controls adult worms reproduction. Here, we...
متن کاملThe Drosophila melanogaster pheromone Z4-11Al is
21 Mate recognition in animals evolves during niche adaptation and involves habitat and 22 social olfactory signals. Drosophila melanogaster is attracted to fermenting fruit for 23 feeding and egg-laying. We show that, in addition, female flies release a pheromone (Z)24 4-undecenal (Z4-11Al), that elicits flight attraction in both sexes. The biosynthetic 25 precursor of Z4-11Al is the cuticular...
