Visualizing septins in early Drosophila embryos [PDF]
Functional studies in Drosophila have been key for establishing a role for the septin family of proteins in animal cell division and thus extending for the first time observations from the budding yeast to animal cells. Visualizing the distribution of specific septins in different Drosophila tissues and, in particular, in the Drosophila embryo ...

Widespread introgression across a phylogeny of 155 Drosophila genomes
Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression, particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for introgression at a larger phylogenetic scale across entire clades ...

Transplantation in Drosophila [PDF]
The application of the method of transplantation, which has been so fruitful in the study of many biological problems, to genetically well known material, has advantages which are at once apparent to those who have thought about questions concerning the relation of genes to the developmental process.

Evaluation of \u3ci\u3ePaederus Littorarius\u3c/i\u3e (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) as an Egg Predator of \u3ci\u3eChrysoteuchia Topiaria\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae in Wisconsin Cranberry Bogs [PDF]
A preliminary study was conducted to determine if the rove beetle, Paederus littorarius Grav., would exhibit a feeding preference for the eggs of the pyralid moth, Chrysoteuchia topiaria Zeller, a pest in Wisconsin cranberry bogs.

Suppression of polyglutamine toxicity by a Drosophila homolog of myeloid leukemia factor 1 [PDF]
The toxicity of an abnormally long polyglutamine [poly(Q)] tract within specific proteins is the molecular lesion shared by Huntington's disease (HD) and several other hereditary neurodegenerative disorders.

When the Chilean endemic species Drosophila pavani compete during the pre—adult stage on a limited amount of food with D. melanogaster, D. simulans, and D. willistoni, developmental periods were significantly retarded, but egg—to—adult viability decreased only in the presence of D. melanogaster.

Cell lineage tracing reveals the plasticity of the hemocyte lineages and of the hematopoietic compartments in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Much of our knowledge on hematopoiesis, hematopoietic compartments, hematopoietic cell lineages and immunity has been derived from studies on the vertebrate immune system.

Multifractal analysis of the long-range correlations in the cardiac dynamics of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Time series of heartbeat activity of humans can exhibit long-range correlations. In this paper we show that such kind of correlations can exist for the heartbeat activity of much simpler species like Drosophila melanogaster. By means of the method of multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA) we calculate fractal spectra $f(\alpha)$ and $h(q)$

Mycobiota, neuro-cognitif disorders and behavioural impairments: is there a relationship?
Introduction The human body carries large and diverse communities of symbiotic microbes that are important for human health and development. While the impact of the bacterial microbiota, which are mostly found in the human gut, on host physiology is ...

In vivo detection of lamellocytes in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
Drosophila has recently become a powerful model organism for studies of innate immunity. The cellular elements of innate immunity in Drosophila, the hemocytes, have been characterized by morphological criteria, molecular markers, and cell-type-specific ...
