Chemoreceptivity ofDrosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B - Biological Sciences, 1946 The occurrence of mutants ofDrosophila melanogasterdistinguished by the absence or structural modification of the antennae provides a means of assessing the role of the antennae with respect to the reception of various classes of stimuli. Antennaless (A0) phenotypes ofantennalessstock fail to respond to those chemical stimuli which lead the fly to its ...

Parametric Alignment of Drosophila Genomes [PDF]
, 2005 The classic algorithms of Needleman--Wunsch and Smith--Waterman find a maximum a posteriori probability alignment for a pair hidden Markov model (PHMM). In order to process large genomes that have undergone complex genome rearrangements, almost all existing whole genome alignment methods apply fast heuristics to divide genomes into small pieces which ...

Organization of descending neurons in Drosophila melanogaster
Scientific Reports, 2016 Neural processing in the brain controls behavior through descending neurons (DNs) - neurons which carry signals from the brain to the spinal cord (or thoracic ganglia in insects).

Adventures in Time and Space: What Shapes Behavioural Decisions in Drosophila melanogaster? [PDF]
, 2019 Variation in behaviour can be observed both between individuals, based on their condition and experience as well as between populations due to sources of heterogeneity in the environment.

A comparative analysis of transcription factor expression during metazoan embryonic development [PDF]
, 2013 During embryonic development, a complex organism is formed from a single starting cell. These processes of growth and differentiation are driven by large transcriptional changes, which are following the expression and activity of transcription factors (TFs).

The anomalous tango of hemocyte migration in Drosophila melanogaster embryos [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Drosophila melanogaster hemocytes are highly motile cells that are crucial for successful embryogenesis and have important roles in the organism's immunological response. Hemocyte motion was measured using selective plane illumination microscopy. Every hemocyte cell in one half of an embryo was tracked during embryogenesis and analysed using a deep ...

A comparative study of the short term cold resistance response in distantly related Drosophila species: the role of regucalcin and frost. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The molecular basis of short term cold resistance (indexed as chill-coma recovery time) has been mostly addressed in D. melanogaster, where candidate genes (Dca (also known as smp-30) and Frost (Fst)) have been identified.

Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]
, 2015 Flying insects use olfaction to navigate towards fruits in complex odor environments with remarkable accuracy. Some fruits change odor profiles substantially during ripening and related species can prefer different stages.

Hawaiian Picture‐Winged Drosophila Exhibit Adaptive Population Divergence along a Narrow Climatic Gradient on Hawaii Island [PDF]
, 2019 1. Anthropogenic influences on global processes and climatic conditions are increasingly affecting ecosystems throughout the world. 2. Hawaii Island’s native ecosystems are well studied and local long‐term climatic trends well documented, making these ...
