  1. 1. Color and wing size: identifying targets of sexual selection in Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Ellen Pääjärvi Våg; [2024]
    Keywords : Sexual selection; wing interference patterns; Drosophila melanogaster; visual signaling; sexuell selektion; vingmönster; bananfluga; visuell signalering;

    Abstract : This study explores the relationship between wing size, coloration, and reproductivesuccess in Drosophila melanogaster, fruit flies. Sexual selection, a key aspect ofevolutionary biology, often involves visual signaling as a means of displaying geneticinformation. READ MORE

  3. 2. Computational Pipeline for Analyses of Genome-Wide Nascent Transcription from PRO-seq Data

    University essay from KTH/Genteknologi

    Author : Serhat Aktay; [2023]
    Keywords : Transcription; functional genomic regions; heat shock response; computational pipeline development; automation.; Genavläsning; genomets funktionella regioner; värmechockrespons; dataanalysutveckling; automatisering;

    Abstract : Celler har en rad olika sätt att försvara sig mot stress för att överleva, främst genom att reglera transkriptionen av gener. En metod för att undersöka hur cellens transkription förändras vid cellulär stress är precision run-on sequencing (PRO-seq). READ MORE

  4. 3. Mapping volatiles that induce sensory responses in Delia antiqua: comparative identification across a set of crops

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Plant Protection Biology

    Author : Max Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : attractants; gc-ead; gc-ms; olfactomics; volatiles; databases; drosophila; delia;

    Abstract : The urge to combat climate change and the rapid degradation of agroecosystems puts high pressure on the development of novel tools to make an applied and theoretical change in the world. There is a vision on sustainability through Agenda 2030 which aligns with FAOs: the 10 elements of agroecology. READ MORE

  5. 4. Can Saccharomycopsis vini and Z4-11Al be used in a push-pull system against the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)

    Author : Hedda Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Z -4-undecenal; pheromone; yeast; volatiles; pest management; spotted wing drosophila;

    Abstract : Drosophila suzukii is a pest with global spread that lays its eggs in soft fruits. It has been deemed potentially invasive to Sweden. Contrary to other Drosophila species, D. suzukii possess a serrated ovipositor which makes it possible for it to lay its eggs in ripening fruits. READ MORE

  6. 5. Analyzing the use of Humidity Cue in Navigation of Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Kalle Andersson; [2022]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Humidity is one of the main abiotic factor of ecosystems and affects animals behaviour, fitness and distribution. Due to their small size and inability to thermoregulate using metabolism, insects, such as the fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster, are especially reliant on humidity. READ MORE
