Pulse interval as a critical parameter in the courtship song of Drosophila melanogaster
TLDR
The species specific nature of the song is determined by pulse interval and not pulse length, and the effect on female receptivity of varying pulse length and pulse interval was tested by using simulated songs.About:

Hox10 and Hox11 Genes Are Required to Globally Pattern the Mammalian Skeleton
TL;DR: Mice in which all members of the Hox10 or Hox11 paralogous group are disrupted provide evidence that these Hox genes are involved in global patterning of the axial and appendicular skeleton.

Courtship behavior in Drosophila.
TL;DR: Field-captured specimens of species which cannot be bred in the laboratory can be maintained for periods of time in healthy condition on normal laboratory diets so that their behaviors may be studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
A few chemical words exchanged by Drosophila during courtship and mating.
TL;DR: Experimental evidence and speculation relative to chemical messages exchanged by Drosophila during courtship and mating are reviewed, and emphasis is put on female aphrodisiacs, as they clearly participate in sex and species recognition.

Medfly areawide sterile insect technique programmes for prevention, suppression or eradication: the importance of mating behavior studies
TL;DR: There is considerable scope for improving the efficiency of medfly SIT, an indispensable requirement for increased involvement of the private sector in any future application.

Neuronal Control of Drosophila Courtship Song
Anne C. von Philipsborn,Tianxiao Liu,Jai Y. Yu,Christopher Masser,Salil S. Bidaye,Barry J. Dickson +5 more
TL;DR: Five distinct classes of fru neuron that trigger or compose the courtship song of the Drosophila male are identified, suggesting that P1 and pIP10 neurons in the brain mediate the decision to sing, and to act upon this decision, while the thoracic neurons dPR1, vPR6, and vMS11 are components of a central pattern generator that times and shapes the song's pulses.

Some Methods for Strengthening the Common χ 2 Tests
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss two kinds of failure to make the best use of x2 tests which I have observed from time to time in reading reports of biological research, and propose a number of methods for strengthening or supplementing the most common uses of the ordinary x2 test.

The courtship songs of drosophila
TL;DR: The songs produced by members of the melanogaster and obscura species groups were recorded and analysed and it is suggested that the songs are codes which allow females to recognise con-specific mates.

Flight in Drosophila : I. Flight Performance of Tethered Flies
TL;DR: Evidence is presented suggesting that these measurements are applicable to free flight, and the adaptive significance of the absence of a ‘lift-control reaction’ in fruit-flies is discussed.

Stimuli provided by Courtship of Male Drosophila melanogaster
H. C. Bennet-Clark,Ailith Ewing +1 more
TL;DR: Drosophila melanogaster males perform a movement termed vibration, in which one wing is held out horizontally at right angles to the body and vibrated in the vertical plane, which is very important in stimulating sexual receptivity in the female.

Antennae and Sexual Receptivity in Drosophila melanogaster Females
TL;DR: For the female to be normally responsive to the display of wing vibrations by males, the arista and funiculus of the female's antenna must be intact and able to move freely.
