    Development of behavioral competence in youngDrosophila melanogaster adults (1989)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract We have monitored the ontogeny of several behaviors performed by young Drosophila melanogasteradults. Very young flies are less active than older flies and are less responsive to gravity, light, an odorant, and sucrose applied to their tarsi. In addition, very young males do not consume sucrose or perform any courtship behaviors in response to virgin females, which provide chemical and visual stimuli to courting males. The rate at which flies become maximally competent to respond to stimuli is a function of the behavior. Sensory and motor deficits are not solely responsible for young flies' inability to respond to the stimuli, which suggests that the central nervous system continues to develop after eclosion.

    Description of sexual behaviors ofDrosophila rajasekari (1989)
    Springer
    Journal of chemical ecology 15 (1989), S. 1423-1432 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1561
    Keywords: Courtship ; pheromones ; (Z,Z)-7,11-heptacosadiene ; Drosophila rajasekari ; Drosophila melanogaster ; Diptera ; Drosophilidae

    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The courtship behaviors and cuticular hydrocarbons ofDrosophila rajasekari are described. Sexually mature males orient, tap, follow, vibrate their abdomens, extend and vibrate their wings, and attempt copulation during courtship. They perform these behaviors in response to immature and matureD. rajasekari of both sexes, and their courtship activities are facilitated by light. The predominant cuticular hydrocarbon found in both sexes is (Z,Z)-7,11-heptacosadiene (HCD), a compound known to be used as a courtship-stimulating sex pheromone by another fruit fly,D. melanogaster. Therefore, it is not surprising thatD. melanogaster males actively court both males and females from theD. rajasekari stock. However, HCD is apparently not used byD. rajasekari as a courtship-stimulating pheromone since matureD. rajasekari males do not courtD. melanogaster females, which produce large quantities of HCD.

    Courtship of young males is ubiquitous inDrosophila melanogaster (1983)

    Notes: Abstract In eightDrosophila melanogaster stocks, males which are only a few hours old stimulate courtship which is qualitatively and, in many of the stocks, quantitatively indistinguishable from the courtship elicited by virgin females. Although the sex appeal of young males and the extent to which it declines as the males become sexually mature vary somewhat from stock to stock, homosexual courtship appears to be characteristic of the species.

    A structure-function analysis of NOD, a kinesin-like protein from Drosopbila melanogaster (1994)
    Springer
    Molecular genetics and genomics 242 (1994), S. 145-151

    ISSN: 1617-4623
    Keywords: Drosophila melanogaster ; Kinesin ; Meiosis ; Mutagenesis ; Nod

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract We have analyzed a collection of 12 mutations in the Drosophila melanogaster nod locus, which encodes a kinesin-like protein involved in female meiotic chromosome segregation. The kinesin-like domain is at the N-terminus of the protein, while the C-terminal portion of the protein is unique. Four of the mutations are missense and affect highly conserved domains of the kinesin-like portion of the predicted protein, and thus demonstrate that the sequence conservation is biologically relevant. Surprisingly, two other mutations, which behave genetically as null alleles, are the result of mutations in the last exon of the nod gene. Thus, these two mutations affect the most C-terminal residues in the unique portion of the predicted protein. Based on these mutations, we suggest that this part of the protein may also be essential for wild-type function. The mutations were induced by either gamma-rays or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). All of the gamma-ray induced mutations were small or large chromosomal rearrangements, while all of the EMS mutations were G → A transitions. These findings are consistent with the biochemical basis of the mode of action of each mutagen.

    Selection for increased female sexual receptivity inRaised stocks ofDrosophila melanogaster (1995)
    Springer
    Behavior genetics 25 (1995), S. 303-309 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3297
    Keywords: Drosophila melanogaster ; sexual behavior ; sexual selection ; courtship ; female receptivity
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000

    Notes: Abstract Two third-chromosome mutations inraised (rsd) stocks, when homozygous, cause the wings ofDrosophila melanogaster adults to be held upright. Males expressing these mutations cannot vibrate their wings to produce the courtship song, which functions to increase female receptivity to copulation. As expected,rsd males are less successful when courting wild-type females. However, females from long-establishedrsd stocks are more receptive to courtship stimuli and mate more readily with bothrsd and wild-type males than do wild-type females. Genetic analysis reveals dominant factors on the X and third chromosomes that, in combination, are responsible for the increased receptivity ofrsd females. These observations suggest that the lack of courtship song inrsd stocks, which would be expected to reduce the vigor of the stock, may have functioned as a selective force, favoring mutations that increased female receptivity. Possible consequences of selection favoring the development of differential female receptivity on speciation are discussed.
