The organisation of a third-order olfactory brain region in the vinegar fly
… across input channels. The lateral horn of the fly informs innate behaviours by combining patterns of second-order olfactory projection neuron (PN) activity. While most odorants only elicit a strong behavioural response after associative learning, ecologically meaningful and evolutionarily …

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosphilidae): Risk Assessment For An Invasive Vinegar Fly In Virginia Vineyards
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophila) is an invasive frugivore and has become a significant pest of small fruit, cherry and grape throughout the United States. It may be possible to determine if a Virginia vineyard is at risk of D. suzukii infestation by analyzing the biotic and …

Transgenic Tools in Ants and the Representation of Alarm Pheromones in the Ant Antennial Lobe
… brains no larger than the wellcharacterized vinegar fly, the primary olfactory processing centers (antennal lobes) contain an order of magnitude more functional units compared to the vinegar fly, presumably to facilitate detecting and discriminating between vast numbers of pheromones. The …

Antimicrobial activity in cultures of female Drosophila Melanogaster
… In sex-segregated laboratory cultures of the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, fly food from mated female cultures show reduced microbial growth compared to food from male cultures. We confirmed this, hypothesising that the disparity may be due to the presence of small molecule …

Structure-Function Analysis of Insect Olfactory Receptors
… vary from yeast growing on ripe fruits for the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster to mammals for blood-feeding insects such as the mosquito Anopheles gambiae. The first informational relay between the external environment and the organism is the olfactory sensory neuron (OSN), whose activation …
