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 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 کاملPrepulse-elicited startle in prepulse inhibition.
BACKGROUND Prepulse inhibition (PPI) has become a major experimental paradigm in the study of psychiatric disorders. In this study, a potential confound in measurement and interpretation of PPI, namely startle reactions to so-called "nonstartling" prepulses, was examined. METHODS Prepulses of 80, 85, and 90 dB(A) were presented on their own or followed by a pulse of 115 dB(A) (lead interval: ...
متن کاملAnatomical and genotype-specific mechanosensory responses in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
Afferent neurons commonly exhibit a somatotopic arrangement in the central nervous system that organizes spatially discrete sensory input. We are interested in how that spatial input gets integrated into motor commands. With resources for screening genes and neural circuits, and given that the cells and ion channels that transduce tactile stimuli in Drosophila larvae are remarkably well-charact...
