نویسنده
چکیده
Two studies report the presence of a social influence on pheromonal communication in fruit flies, demonstrating that the production of pheromone blends and mating behaviour are profoundly influenced by social context.

متن کاملLet me tell you about your personality!†: Real-time personality prediction from nonverbal behavioural cues
Although automatic personality analysis has been studied extensively in recent years, it has not yet been adopted for real time applications and real life practices. To the best of our knowledge, this demonstration is a first attempt at predicting the widely used Big Five personality dimensions and a number of social dimensions from nonverbal behavioural cues in real-time. The proposed system a...
متن کاملEnvironmental enrichment improves mating success in fruit flies
Environmental enrichment, defined as housing conditions that include a combination of complex inanimate and social stimulation, has strong positive effects on brain and behaviour in various species. We extended previous studies to evaluate how enrichment affects mating success. In a series of experiments, we found that male fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, reared in an enriched environment...
متن کاملAn Initial Study on the Coordination of Rod and Line Hauling Movements in Distance Fly Casting
Background. The double haul is a unique feature of single-handed fly casting and is used in both fly fishing and fly casting competition. The movement behaviour during the double haul has not been investigated in previous research. Objectives. Describe the coordination of the rod and line hauling movements during distance fly casting. Methods. Elite fly casters performed distance castin...
متن کاملLight, heat, action: neural control of fruit fly behaviour
The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has emerged as a popular model to investigate fundamental principles of neural circuit operation. The sophisticated genetics and small brain permit a cellular resolution understanding of innate and learned behavioural processes. Relatively recent genetic and technical advances provide the means to specifically and reproducibly manipulate the function of man...
