چکیده

Larval pupation site preference (PSP) is an important event in preadult development. The PSP was studied on the basis of the number of larvae pupated at different sites in the cultures. The results revealed that the larval PSP in different species of Drosophila varies significantly at different sites. The sympatric species also differ in their PSP and the pupation behaviour does not correspond with the taxonomic relationship between the species.

Temperature Dependent Larval Pupation Site Preference in Drosophila

Temperature dependent larval pupation site preference in Drosophila. – Vandal N.B., Shivanna N. – The pupation site preferences (PSP) in sibling, sympatric and closely related species of Drosophila belonging to different groups were studied at different temperatures. The study has revealed that the pupation site choice varies significantly at extreme temperatures compared to the control one. Di...

Background: In this study, the toxicity of the different xenobiotics was tested on the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster model system.  Methods: Fly larvae were raised on food supplemented with xenobioticsat different concentrations (sodium nitroprusside (0.1-1.5 mM), S-nitrosoglutathione (0.5-4 mM), and potassium ferrocyanide (1 mM)). Emergence of flies, food intake by larvae, and pupation h...

Pupariation site preference within and between Drosophila sibling species.

Holometabolous insects pass through a sedentary pupal stage and often choose a location for pupation that is different from the site of larval feeding. We have characterized a difference in pupariation site choice within and between sibling species of Drosophila. We found that, in nature, Drosophila sechellia pupariate within their host fruit, Morinda citrifolia, and that they perform this beha...

Effect of Temperature and Density on Larval Pupation Site Preference in Sibling Species of Drosophila (drosophilidae: Diptera)

Larval pupation site preference (PSP) has been studied in sibling species of D. melanogaster and D. simulans at different density and temperature. It revealed significant variation between altered and controlled experiments. D. melanogaster larvae prefer to pupate less on glass and more in media when temperature and density altered than control. D. simulans larvae prefers glass lesser than cont...

The Neuro-Ecology of Drosophila Pupation Behavior

Many species of Drosophila form conspecific pupa aggregations across the breeding sites. These aggregations could result from species-specific larval odor recognition. To test this hypothesis we used larval odors of D. melanogaster and D. pavani, two species that coexist in the nature. When stimulated by those odors, wild type and vestigial (vg) third-instar larvae of D. melanogaster pupated on...
