that the authors conclude that Drosophila can be used as an instrumental model to elucidate the role of immune response as regulators of neuroprotection. In addition to Drosophila , much has been learnt from studying the zebrafish (Danio rerio) , appearing as an early vertebrate during evolution. The zebrafish has become an important organism for exploring defense mechanisms in innate immune re...

A quick guide on peacock flies, a species of insect where, unusually, both males and females perform dances apparently to attract mates.
متن کاملAsymmetric flies
What are the sources of phenotypic variation and which factors shape this variation are fundamental questions of developmental and evolutionary biology. Despite this simple formulation and intense research, controversy remains. Three points are particularly discussed: (1) whether adaptive developmental mechanisms buffering variation exist at all; (2) if yes, do they involve specific genes and p...
متن کاملBiology and control of tabanids, stable flies and horn flies.
Tabanids are among the most free-living adult flies which play a role as livestock pests. A single blood meal is used as a source of energy for egg production (100-1,000 eggs per meal), and females of certain species can oviposit before a blood meal is obtained (autogeny). Therefore, the maintenance of annual populations requires successful oviposition by only 2% of females. Wild animal blood s...
متن کاملMemory flies sooner from flies that learn faster.
L earning, like any phenotypic trait, is expected to evolve under natural selection. A prerequisite for evolutionary change is heritable variation in learning in natural populations. It is customary in evolutionary biology to think of genetic variation in a complex trait such as learning ability in terms of a so-called ‘‘bell curve’’ or normal distribution (1) (Fig. 1). Most individuals are ave...
