The FGLamide-Allatostatins Influence Foraging Behavior in Drosophila melanogaster
Allatostatins (ASTs) are multifunctional neuropeptides that generally act in an inhibitory fashion. ASTs were identified as inhibitors of juvenile hormone biosynthesis. Juvenile hormone regulates insect metamorphosis, reproduction, food intake, growth, and development. Drosophila melanogaster RNAi lines of PheGlyLeu-amide-ASTs (FGLa/ASTs) and their cognate receptor, Dar-1, were used to characte...
متن کاملAnatomical and genotype-specific mechanosensory responses in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
Afferent neurons commonly exhibit a somatotopic arrangement in the central nervous system that organizes spatially discrete sensory input. We are interested in how that spatial input gets integrated into motor commands. With resources for screening genes and neural circuits, and given that the cells and ion channels that transduce tactile stimuli in Drosophila larvae are remarkably well-charact...
متن کاملElucidating the behavioral phenotype of Drosophila melanogaster larvae: correlations between larval foraging strategies and pupation height.
Larvae which demonstrated long trails covering a large area while feeding (rover foragers) pupated significantly higher than those covering a relatively small area and exhibiting short paths (sitter foragers). Pupation height and density of larvae per vial were positively correlated. Under the condition o f equal larval density per vial, rovers were found to pupate significantly higher than sit...
متن کاملeffects of oral morphine on the larvae, pupae and imago development in drosophila melanogaster
objective: previous studies, focusing on the effects of abused drugs, have used mice or rats as the main animal models; the present study tries to introduce a simple animal model. for this propose, we investigated the effects of oral morphine consumption by parents on the development of larvae, pupae and imago in drosophila melanogaster (d. melanogaster). materials and methods: in this experime...
متن کاملOlfactory responses of Drosophila larvae.
We studied complete dose-response curves for 53 odorants in the third instar larvae of Drosophila melanogaster. All odorants, except one, elicited an attraction response. Some odorants also elicited a decrease from their peak response at higher concentrations. This concentration-dependent decrease in olfactory response could be due to either desensitization or repulsion, 2 possibilities that we...
