TL;DR: In this paper, the foraging gene (for), a gene that has two naturally occurring variants in Drosophila melanogaster food-search behavior: rover and sitter, was placed for mutations in the dg2 gene, which encodes a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKG).
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Gene Action Across Different Time Scales on Behavior
TL;DR: It is shown that the age-related transition by honey bees from hive work to foraging is associated with an increase in the expression of the foraging (for) gene, which encodes a guanosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cGMP)–dependent protein kinase (PKG).
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila : Genetics meets behaviour
TL;DR: Behavioural genetics research is at the forefront of behavioural genetics research, and the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster has provided important insights into the molecular, cellular and evolutionary bases of behaviour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foraging strategies of Drosophila melanogaster: a chromosomal analysis.
TL;DR: The two foraging strategies in Drosophila melanogaster are discussed in the light of resource utilization in environments where food is distributed continuously or discontinuously, and differences in larval locomotor behavior and feeding rate are affected additively by both the second and third chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candidate genes for behavioural ecology

TL;DR: The candidate gene approach provides an accessible and useful tool for generating insights about animals that are not typically associated with genetic experimentation and offers great potential to expand the understanding of behavioural ecology.
