Extensive local adaptation within the chemosensory system following Drosophila melanogaster's global expansion

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
How organisms adapt to new environments is of fundamental biological interest, but poorly understood at the genetic level. Chemosensory systems provide attractive models to address this problem, because they lie between external environmental signals and

Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Chemoreceptivity ofDrosophila melanogaster [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings 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 ...

The effects of recombination rate on the distribution and abundance of transposable elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Transposable elements (TEs) often accumulate in regions of the genome with suppressed recombination. But it is unclear whether this pattern reflects a reduction in the efficacy of selection against deleterious insertions or a relaxation of ectopic ...

Organization of descending neurons in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesScientific 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).

A comparative study of the short term cold resistance response in distantly related Drosophila species: the role of regucalcin and frost. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Investigating Mitochondrial Gene Expression Patterns in Drosophila melanogaster Using Network Analysis to Understand Aging Mechanisms

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The process of aging is a complex phenomenon that involves a progressive decline in physiological functions required for survival and fertility. To better understand the mechanisms underlying this process, the scientific community has utilized several ...

A HOMOZYGOUS TRANSLOCATION IN DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1929
Five cases of translocation involving the third and the fourth chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster have been found in the progeny of flies treated by x-rays. The flies carrying a given translocation seem to be perfectly normal in their appearance, but, when tested genetically, they show linkage of genes belonging to the third with genes belonging to
