Bacteria–diet interactions affect longevity in the medfly – Ceratitis capitata
Symbiosis in fruit flies (Dipt.: Tephritidae), despite its long history of study, is still a relatively poorly understood aspect of the life history of these insect pests (reviewed by Drew and Lloyd 1991; Lauzon 2003). Many tephritid species are uniquely adapted for housing large quantities of bacteria in their digestive tract (the oesophageal bulb in adults and gastric caeca in larvae) and som...
متن کاملBehavioral trajectories as predictors in event history analysis: male calling behavior forecasts medfly longevity.
A recent study on wild male Mediterranean fruit flies [Papadopoulos, N.T., Katsoyannos, B.I., Kouloussis, N.A., Carey, J.R., Müller, H.-G., Zhang, Y., 2004. High sexual signalling rates of young individuals predict extended life span in male Mediterranean fruit flies. Oecologia 138, 127-134] provided evidence that intense sexual signalling (calling behavior) is associated with longer life span....
متن کاملCompositional interpretations of medfly mortality.
inflated at the tail of the survivorship distribution, but whether the Gompertz model fits actual observations better than alternative models of mortality. We found that a two-stage Gompertz model, with almost no increase in mortality rate at older ages, fits the observed data significantly better than a simple single-stage Gompertz model (2). Model fits were obtained by maximum likelihood meth...
متن کاملReappraising the voices of wrath.
Cognitive reappraisal recruits prefrontal and parietal cortical areas. Because of the near exclusive usage in past research of visual stimuli to elicit emotions, it is unknown whether the same neural substrates underlie the reappraisal of emotions induced through other sensory modalities. Here, participants reappraised their emotions in order to increase or decrease their emotional response to ...
متن کاملData Set 2: Medfly Mating Success
This is an example of an observational study involving two variables of primary interest and several supplementary variables; these supplementary variables are ones that might affect the response variable and might also be correlated with the explanatory variable. The intent of the statistical analysis therefore is to produce the best possible description of the relationship between the two int...
