Dietary Salt Levels Affect Salt Preference and Learning in Larval Drosophila

, 2011
Drosophila larvae change from exhibiting attraction to aversion as the concentration of salt in a substrate is increased. However, some aversive concentrations appear to act as positive reinforcers, increasing attraction to an odour with which they have ...

Identification and characterization of interneurons in drosophila gustatory circuitry [PDF]

, 2016
Precise control of feeding behaviour is essential for the survival of animals and is largely determined by internal nutritional state and food palatability.

How taste works: cells, receptors and gustatory perception

Cellular and Molecular Biology Letters, 2015
AbstractThe sensitivity of taste in mammals varies due to quantitative and qualitative differences in the structure of the taste perception organs. Gustatory perception is made possible by the peripheral chemosensory organs, i.e., the taste buds, which are distributed in the epithelium of the taste papillae of the palate, tongue, epiglottis, throat and

Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

An expression atlas of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors identifies a molecular basis of carbonation sensing

Nature Communications, 2018
Little is known about the role of variant ionotropic glutamate receptors (IRs) in insect taste. Here the authors characterise the expression pattern of IRs in the Drosophila gustatory system and highlight the role of one receptor, IR56d, in the detection

Functional Development of the Octenol Response in Aedes aegypti

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Attraction of female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to 1-octen-3-ol (octenol), CO2, lactic acid or ammonia emitted by vertebrate hosts is not only contingent on the presence of odorants in the environment, but is also influenced by the insect’s physiological ...

How Climate Change Shapes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Performance in the MENA Countries

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change, political stability, and sustainability are three central factors that interact and serve as key drivers of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region. Accordingly, this paper aims to fill a vital research gap by examining the impacts of climate change, natural resource ...

Cholesterol taste avoidance in Drosophila melanogaster

eLife
The question as to whether animals taste cholesterol taste is not resolved. This study investigates whether the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is capable of detecting cholesterol through their gustatory system. We found that flies are indifferent to
