Female influence on pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection and its genetic basis in Drosophila melanogaster.
Genetic variation among females is likely to influence the outcome of both pre- and post-copulatory sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster. Here we use association testing to survey natural variation in 10 candidate female genes for their effects on female reproduction. Females from 91 chromosome two substitution lines were scored for phenotypes affecting pre- and post-copulatory sexual se...
متن کاملSexual Experience Enhances Drosophila melanogaster Male Mating Behavior and Success
Competition for mates is a wide-spread phenomenon affecting individual reproductive success. The ability of animals to adjust their behaviors in response to changing social environment is important and well documented. Drosophila melanogaster males compete with one another for matings with females and modify their reproductive behaviors based on prior social interactions. However, it remains to...
متن کاملGenetic control of cuticle formation during embryonic development of Drosophila melanogaster.
The embryonic cuticle of Drosophila melanogaster is deposited by the epidermal epithelium during stage 16 of development. This tough, waterproof layer is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the larval body. We have characterized mutations in a set of genes required for proper deposition and/or morphogenesis of the cuticle. Zygotic disruption of any one of these genes results i...
متن کاملGenetic and Neural Regulation of Aggressive Behavior in Drosophila Melanogaster
Environmental as well as genetic factors can modulate aggressiveness, but the biological mechanisms underlying their influence are largely unknown. Social experience with conspecifics suppresses aggressiveness in both vertebrate and invertebrate species, including Drosophila. We have searched for genes whose expression levels correlate with the influence of social experience on aggressiveness i...
متن کاملDynamic genetic interactions determine odor-guided behavior in Drosophila melanogaster.
Understanding the genetic architecture of complex traits requires identification of the underlying genes and characterization of gene-by-gene and genotype-by-environment interactions. Behaviors that mediate interactions between organisms and their environment are complex traits expected to be especially sensitive to environmental conditions. Previous studies on the olfactory avoidance response ...
