    Sexual Receptivity in Insects (1996)
    Annual Reviews
    Details
    Publication Date: 1996-01-01
    Description: Sexual receptivity is female behavior that allows or helps a male to fertilize her eggs; through this behavior, females play an active role in reproduction. Multiple signals may be used for receptivity or unreceptivity. Insect species exhibit three ontogenetic patterns of receptivity: cyclic, in which females alternately become receptive and unreceptive; brief, in which females mate during one short developmental period; and continuous. Primary (initial) receptivity may be stimulated or inhibited by diet, ovarian development, or juvenile hormone. In species with cyclic receptivity, remating may be inhibited by copulation itself, the presence of eggs, sperm stored in spermathecae, or seminal factors—usually peptides—secreted by the male accessory glands. In many species, there is substantial genetic variation for both primary receptivity and speed of remating. Several single-gene mutations reduce female receptivity; most of these mutations also impair sensory functioning.

    Artificial selection for altered male wing display inDrosophila simulans (1982)
    Springer
    Behavior genetics 12 (1982), S. 449-458 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3297
    Keywords: wing display ; vibration ; scissoring ; artificial selection ; Drosophila simulans ; courtship behavior ; genetic variation
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Selection for an increase in one form of male wing display (vibration) over another (scissoring) was carried out on courting pairs of a multifemale stock ofDrosophila simulans for 17 generations. One of two lines responded to selection, and the realized heritability calculated over the first 11 generations was approximately 10% for this line. Pair matings between control and selected flies in generation 17 indicated that selection occurred primarily on males themselves, rather than indirectly on females. The trait used in selection (vibration time/wing display time) was broken down into four component traits: number of bouts of vibration, vibration bout length, number of bouts of scissoring, and scissoring bout length. Only two of these traits, number of bouts of vibration and scissoring bout length, showed a long-term response to selection.

    Circadian and ultradian rhythms inperiod mutants ofDrosophila melanogaster (1987)
    Springer
    Behavior genetics 17 (1987), S. 19-35

    ISSN: 1573-3297
    Keywords: circadian ; ultradian ; locomotor activity ; per locus ; clock mutants

    Topics: Biology , Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Using digital techniques for signal analysis—the correlogram and a high-resolution analysis of time series, maximum-entropy spectral analysis (MESA)—we have detected both circadian and ultradian rhythms in the locomotor activity of free-runningper 0 males and in females lacking theper locus (per −; heterozygous for two deficiencies, each of which deletes the gene). Over half theper 0 individuals and half theper − individuals tested were rhythmically active, with dominant periods ranging from 4 to 22 h; most of the significantly rhythmicper 0 andper − flies clearly exhibited multiple periodicities. This novel pattern of rhythmic behavior is thoroughly distinct from the wild-type pattern. One hypothesis suggested by our observations is that theper + gene products mediate the coupling of multiple ultradian oscillators to produce wild-type circadian rhythms.

    Pupation site selection inDrosophila simulans (1983)
    Springer
    Behavior genetics 13 (1983), S. 17-27 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3297
    Keywords: pupation site ; pupation height ; artificial selection ; Drosophila ; density-dependent behavior ; genotype-environment interaction
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Selection for increased pupation height was carried out for 17 generations in two lines ofDrosophila simulans derived from a genetically heterogeneous base population. The realized heritability for mean pupation height in each line, calculated over the 17 generations, did not differ significantly from zero. Both selected lines tended to pupate away from the center of the culture medium to a greater extent than the control in the latter generations of the experiment but not in earlier generations. Pupation height may have been refractory to artificial selection because of an adaptation of this species to pupate on the larval food source. In a subsequent experiment, each line was tested at three larval densities in an apparatus different from the one used for selection. Each successively higher density showed a corresponding increase in pupation height. Both selected lines had higher mean pupation heights than the control line. The differences between lines became more pronounced as the larval density increased.

    High-resolution analysis of locomotor activity rhythms indisconnected, a visual-system mutant ofDrosophila melanogaster (1989)
    Springer
    Behavior genetics 19 (1989), S. 529-542 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3297
    Keywords: Drosophila ; circadian clock ; ultradian oscillations ; disconnected mutant ; visual system
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Psychology
    Notes: Abstract Free-running locomotor activity and eclosion rhythms ofDrosophila melanogaster, mutant at thedisconnected (disco) locus, are substantially different from the wild-type phenotype. Initial periodogram analysis revealed little or no rhythmicity (Dushayet al., 1989). We have reanalyzed the locomotor activity data using high-resolution signal analysis (maximum-entropy spectral analysis, or MESA). These analyses, corroborated by autocorrelograms, uncovered significant residual circadian rhythmicity and strong ultradian rhythms in most of the animals tested. In this regard thedisco mutants are much like flies expressing mutant alleles of theperiod gene, as well as wild-type flies reared throughout life in constant darkness. We hypothesize that light normally triggers the coupling of multiple ultradian oscillators into a functional circadian clock and that this process is disrupted indisco flies as a result of the neural lesion.

    Female sexual receptivity is defective in juvenile hormone-deficient mutants of theapterous gene ofDrosophila melanogaster (1991)
    Springer
    Behavior genetics 21 (1991), S. 453-469 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-3297
    Keywords: female receptivity ; Drosophila ; apterous ; juvenile hormone ; reproductive development ; sexual behavior

    Notes: Abstract During reproductive maturation of female insects, the acquisition of sexual receptivity is coordinated with ovarian development. Juvenile homone regulates vitellogenesis in the ovaries, but the action of this hormone in the development of sexual behavior is less well-understood. A strain ofDrosophila melanogaster carrying a mutation in theapterous gene(ap 4) was known to exhibit arrested vitellogenesis (rescuable by applying exogenous juvenile hormone), sterility of both sexes, and a deficiency of juvenile hormone. In this study, we examined the effects of mutations ofap on female receptivity and its relationship to juvenile hormone. We observed abnormally low female receptivity in homozygousap strains, and heteroallelic combinations ofap mutations exhibited low receptivity. For female receptivity,ap showed no dominance (i.e.,ap/ap + was intermediate betweenap/ap andap +/ap +). Low receptivity mapped genetically to theap locus. The reduction in female receptivity in these mutants is positively correlated with levels of juvenile hormone synthesized by their corpora allata.

    Analysis of courtship sequences of the hybrids betweenDrosophila melanogaster andDrosophila simulans (1980)

    Keywords: Drosophila melanogaster ; Drosophila simulans ; hybrid behavior ; transition analysis ; courtship sequences

    Notes: Abstract Several transitions between sequential male courtship elements were analyzed forDrosophila melanogaster its close relativeD. simulans, and two types of hybrid males. Hybrid males from special reciprocal crosses did not differ. WhileD. melanogaster andD. simulans males differed markedly for the majority of transitions studied, hybrid males showed no consistent pattern with the parent species, being indistinguishable fromD. simulans males, indistinguishable fromD. melanogaster, or intermediate between them, depending on the trait observed. This suggests independent genetic control of these transitions during male courtship.
