Environmental Effects on Remating in Drosophila Melanogaster.
The effects of density and food on remating were investigated using Drosophila melanogaster. The frequency of remating was unaffected by density for some combinations of fly strains but was reduced at low relative densities for other combinations. Until females had used most of their stored sperm, remating was less likely when food was absent or contact with food was prevented. Food availabilit...
متن کاملFemale remating in Drosophila ananassae: bidirectional selection for remating speed.
In Drosophila ananassae, artificial selection was carried out for fast and slow remating speed for 10 generations. Response to selection resulted in rapid divergence in remating time in each of two replicates of both fast and slow lines. There were significant differences in mean remating time in females among fast, slow, and control lines. Regression coefficients for both fast and slow lines a...
متن کاملAssociations between female remating behavior, oogenesis and oviposition in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila pseudoobscura.
An association between female remating behavior, oogenesis and oviposition was examined in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila pseudoobscura to investigate mechanisms that elicit remating. Females receptive to remating oviposited more eggs in both species; however, the species differed in the association between remating behavior and the number and distribution of oocyte stages. We found no ...
متن کاملRemating and Sperm Competition in Replicate Populations of Drosophila melanogaster Adapted to Alternative Environments
The prevalence of sexual conflict in nature, as well as the supposedly arbitrary direction of the resulting coevolutionary trajectories, suggests that it may be an important driver of phenotypic divergence even in a constant environment. However, natural selection has long been central to the operation of sexual conflict within populations and may therefore constrain or otherwise direct diverge...
متن کاملThe development of indirect flight muscle innervation in Drosophila melanogaster
We have examined the development of innervation to the indirect flight muscles of Drosophila. During metamorphosis, the larval intersegmental nerve of the mesothorax is remodelled to innervate the dorsal longitudinal muscles and two of the dorsoventral muscles. Another modified larval nerve innervates the remaining dorsoventral muscle. The dorsal longitudinal muscles develop using modified larv...
