Genetics and genomics of Drosophila mating behavior.
The first steps of animal speciation are thought to be the development of sexual isolating mechanisms. In contrast to recent progress in understanding the genetic basis of postzygotic isolating mechanisms, little is known about the genetic architecture of sexual isolation. Here, we have subjected Drosophila melanogaster to 29 generations of replicated divergent artificial selection for mating s...
متن کاملObp56h Modulates Mating Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
Social interactions in insects are driven by conspecific chemical signals that are detected via olfactory and gustatory neurons. Odorant binding proteins (Obps) transport volatile odorants to chemosensory receptors, but their effects on behaviors remain poorly characterized. Here, we report that RNAi knockdown of Obp56h gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster enhances mating behavior by redu...
متن کاملCarbon dioxide sensitivity in Drosophila affinis and Drosophila athabasca.
ENSITIVITY to carbon dioxide in Drosophila melanogaster, discovered in 1937 by L’HfiRITIER and TEISSIER, has been the object of considerable research by L’HBRITIER and his co-workers in France (L’H~~RITIER 1948, 1951, 1958). Since ‘no study had previously been made in species other than D. melanogaster, it was decided to investigate the occurrence of CO, sensitivity in several of the American D...
متن کاملStructure and Variation of the Chromosomes in Drosophila Algonquin.
ROSOPHILA algonquin, described by STURTEVANT and DOBZHAND SKY (1936b), belongs to the a$nis group of the genus Drosophila. It was originally found in a few localities in the northeastern United States, but it has recently appeared in a collection taken as far southwest as central Texas. Figure I shows the known distribution of the species. It is the purpose of this paper to give an account of t...
متن کاملSexual Experience Enhances Drosophila melanogaster Male Mating Behavior and Success
Competition for mates is a wide-spread phenomenon affecting individual reproductive success. The ability of animals to adjust their behaviors in response to changing social environment is important and well documented. Drosophila melanogaster males compete with one another for matings with females and modify their reproductive behaviors based on prior social interactions. However, it remains to...
