TLDR
A sequence of 51 visible changes is described during the course of metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster, and a series of 24 convenient stages is defined for use in the experimental analysis and exploitation of this part of the insect life cycle.Abstract:
A sequence of 51 visible changes is described during the course of metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster, and a series of 24 convenient stages is defined for use in the experimental analysis and exploitation of this part of the insect life cycle. The duration of each stage is estimated and times are suggested for batch collections of symphasic animals.read more

Characterization and spatial distribution of the ELAV protein during Drosophila melanogaster development.
Steven Robinow,Kalpana White +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the elav gene provides a neuronal-housekeeping function that is required for the successful posttranscriptional processing of transcripts from a set of genes the function of which is requiredfor proper neuronal development and maintenance.

Proliferation pattern of postembryonic neuroblasts in the brain of Drosophila melanogaster
Kei Ito,Yoshiki Hotta +1 more
TL;DR: The spatio-temporal proliferation pattern of postembryonic neuroblasts in the central brain region of the supra-esophageal ganglion of Drosophila melanogaster was studied by labeling DNA replicating cells with 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU).

Gut-associated microbes of Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: In this review, what is known regarding the composition of gut-associated microbes of Drosophila and their impact on host physiology is summarized and some recent insights into mechanisms by which Drosophile and its gut microbiota interact are described.

The emergence of order in the Drosophila pupal retina.
Ross L. Cagan,Donald F. Ready +1 more
TL;DR: This paper follows various stages of pupal development, and suggests how local cell-cell contacts may produce the cells needed for a functional retina.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metamorphosis of the central nervous system of Drosophila
TL;DR: The study of the metamorphosis of the central nervous system of Drosophila focused on the ventral CNS, where large numbers of new, adult-specific neurons are added to this basic complement of persisting larval cells.

The metamorphosis of Drosophila melanogaster, including an accurately timed account of the principal morphological changes
TL;DR: During the quiescent fourth larval instar the larva of Drosophila becomes loosened from the puparium and takes on the form of a pupa, shedding the prepupal cuticle.

The ultrastructure of the developing leg ofDrosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: The ultrastructure of the imaginal discs of Drosophila melanogaster was compared with that of other chitogenous tissues with different developmental capacities, namely, embryonic, larval, pupal and adult epidermis and it was concluded that gap junctions may be a more likely site for the intercellular communication involved in pattern formation than septate desmosomes.

TL;DR: The term cryptocephalic pupa denotes the pupa during the period between larval-pupal apolysis and head evagination, an extended period during which the insect closely resembles an exarate (free) pupa in other insect orders.
