Abstract Native to Southeast Asia, the spotted‐wing drosophila ( Drosophila suzukii ) has become a major pest of small fruit crops in Americas and Europe because females can oviposit ripening fruit. Currently, D. management relies heavily on chemical control; thus, more sustainable approaches like attract‐and‐kill need be evaluated reduce insecticide use. In previous studies, HOOK SWD, an produ...

This essay investigates time-lapse cinematography as a hybrid, intermedial practice. To interrogate practices of authorship, publication, copying, storage, and especially distribution, it recovers the history The Embryonic Development Drosophila melanogaster, film made by Eric Lucey at University Edinburgh in 1956. An unusually rich archive makes possible to recover uses reuses footage research...

Connectomes derived from volume EM imaging of the brain can generate detailed physical models every neuron, and simulators such as NEURON or GENESIS are designed to work with models. In principal, combining these technologies, plus transmitter channel models, should allow accurate simulation real neural circuits. Here we experiment this combination, using a well-studied system (motion detection...

• Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae is a cosmopolitan drosophilid parasitoid. This pupal parasitoid was released in hoop houses for D. suzukii control. Trials Minnesota, Oregon and California had inconsistent results. Only one trial showed elevated parasitism levels release plots. Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila , native to East Asia but has become major pest of soft-skinned fruit crops its invade...

We describe a fractionation and purification scheme for the Drosophila RNA polymerase II general transcription factors. Drosophila TFIIE, TFIIF, TFIIH, and RNA polymerase II have been purified to greater than 50% homogeneity from Drosophila embryo nuclear extracts. TFIID has been purified 80-fold and is not significantly contaminated with any of the other general factors. This is the first repo...

The data on the protective properties of Prunella grandiflora L. extract were obtained when used together with anticancer drug etoposide experimental strain Drosophila melanogaster . combined use and 10% P. decreased mortality in D. individuals to 15% doubled average individual fertility compared this cytostatic without extract. Using SMART method, presence antigenotoxic effect was identified, ...

The method of air pollution level evaluation of urban landscapes on the basis of D. melanogaster cohort analysis has been suggested. The method implies the binding to the landscape areas of the city. Within each landscape area traps and cultivators for D. melanogaster have been installed in sanitary-protective zones of various enterprises as well as on the background territory with the least le...

BACKGROUND The Drosophila C virus (DCV) is a common and well-studied Drosophila pathogen. Although natural infections are known from Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, and artificial infections have been reported from several Drosophila species and other insects, it remains unclear to date whether DCV infections also occur naturally in other Drosophila species. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDING...

Abstract Many real-world graphs have edges correlated to the distance between them, but in an inhomogeneous manner. While Chung–Lu model and geometric random graph models both are elegant their simplicity, they insufficient capture complexity of these networks. In this article, we develop a generalized that preserves many theoretic aspects We test validity on graphical representation Drosophila...
