Genetics Of Screwworm, New Genetic Markers And Preliminary Linkage Map., David B. Taylor
Genetics Of Screwworm, New Genetic Markers And Preliminary Linkage Map., David B. Taylor
David B. Taylor
Eight new genetic markers for Cochliomyia hominivorax (Diptera: Calliphoridae), the screwworm, are characterized. The markers include three eye mutants, lemon-eye (Ie), cherry-eye (ch), and red-eye (re); one wing mutant, curly-wing (cw); and four allozyme markers, amylase (Amy-1), glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (Gpd), phosphoglucomutase (Pgm), and octanol dehydrogenase (Odh). The markers are associated into four linkage groups. Radiation-induced translocations were used to correlate the linkage groups with their respective chromosomes. A preliminary genetic linkage map with these and three previously characterized loci is presented.
Environmental Effects On Remating In Drosophila Melanogaster, Lawrence G. Harshman, Ary A. Hoffman, Timothy Prout
Environmental Effects On Remating In Drosophila Melanogaster, Lawrence G. Harshman, Ary A. Hoffman, Timothy Prout
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
The effects of density and food on remating were investigated using Drosophila melanogaster. The frequency of remating was unaffected by density for some combinations of fly strains but was reduced at low relative densities for other combinations. Until females had used most of their stored sperm, remating was less likely when food was absent or contact with food was prevented. Food availability had little effect on the incidence of remating once stored sperm were depleted and had no effect on initial virgin mating frequency. This study indicates that environmental factors can have a substantial direct influence on the frequency …
Truncation Of Screwworm (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Development By Irradiation Of Embryos., David B. Taylor, Robert L. Mangan
Truncation Of Screwworm (Diptera: Calliphoridae) Development By Irradiation Of Embryos., David B. Taylor, Robert L. Mangan
David B Taylor
Gamma irradiation of screwworm, Cochliomyia hominivorax (Coquerel), embryos was used to truncate the life cycle at the prepupal stage. Egg hatch and larval survival were not reduced by dosages ≤8 kilorads (kr). Pupariation and adult emergence were inhibited by dosages ≥2.8 and 1.2 kr, respectively. Larvae, irradiated as embryos with dosages ≤8 kr, successfully infested wounded sheep, although larval weight was lower than normal. A dosage of 5.8 kr was sufficient to prevent pupariation, while permitting larval development to the third instar. Truncation of screwworm development permits the use of artificially wounded and infested animals for screwworm population surveillance and …
Hybridization Of Aedes (Protomacleaya) Zoosophus With Ae. (Pro.) Triseriatus Group Species: Hybrid Morphology, David Taylor
Hybridization Of Aedes (Protomacleaya) Zoosophus With Ae. (Pro.) Triseriatus Group Species: Hybrid Morphology, David Taylor
David B. Taylor
Morphology of hybrids between Aedes (Protomacleaya) zoosophus and Ae. (Pro.) triseriatus group species is described. Adult females of hybrids key to Ae. zoosophus. Hybrids are differentiated from Ae. zoosophus by the dark longitudinal medial or submedial lines on the thorax and by the reduced width of the light tarsal and abdominal bands. The transverse band of light scales on the anterior scutum is complete in Ae. hendersoni / Ae. zoosophus hybrids and incomplete in Ae. triseriatus / Ae. zoosophus hybrids. Aedes brelandi / Ae. zoosophus hybrids are similar to Ae. hendersoni / Ae. zoosophus hybrids. However, due to the …

Genetic Compatibility Of Aedes (Protomacleaya) Triseriatus With A. (P.) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor
David B Taylor
Interspecific hybridization was used to examine reproductive compatibility of Aedes (Protomacleaya) triseriatus (Say) with Aedes (P .) brelandi Zavortink and Aedes (P.) hendersoni Cockerell. Most male progeny were sterile intersexes when A. brelandi or A. hendersoni males were crossed with A. triseriatus females. Female hybrids, and males from the reciprocal crosses, were morphologically normal and fertile. Varying percentages of intersex males were observed among progeny when normal F1 hybrids were crossed to either parental species or with other hybrids. Egg and female sterility resulting from a partial incompatibility between A. triseriatus cytoplasm and A. brelandi male-determining chromosome was observed. No …

Comparison Of Africanized And European Queen-Mating Colonies In Venezuela, Richard L. Hellmich Ii, Robert G. Danka, Thomas E. Rinderer, Anita M. Collins
Comparison Of Africanized And European Queen-Mating Colonies In Venezuela, Richard L. Hellmich Ii, Robert G. Danka, Thomas E. Rinderer, Anita M. Collins
Richard L Hellmich
Africanized queen-mating colonies produced fewer mated queens (P < 0.05), absconded more (P < 0.001) and had more population dwindling (P < 0.03) when compared to European queenmating colonies. Africanized colonies most affected by these factors were 5-1 nuclei, the type of mating nuclei most commonly used by U.S. queen producers. Efficiency of queen production was increased by doubling bee populations and hive volume and by adding brood.
Variation In Population Sex Ratio And Mating Success Of Asexual Lineages Of Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
Variation In Population Sex Ratio And Mating Success Of Asexual Lineages Of Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
Populations of Alsophila pometaria (Harris) are largely gynogenetic and composed of asexual females that must mate with a conspecific male to reproduce. Within this asexual contingent, there are a variety of electrophoretically defined multilocus genotypes. In this study we found that populations differ in sex ratio. We also found that there is an indication of differential mating success among asexual genotypes in a population of A. pometaria.
Male Reproductive Parasitism: A Factor In The Africanization Of European Honey-Bee Populations, Thomas E. Rinderer, Richard L. Hellmich Ii, Anita M. Collins, Robert G. Danka
Male Reproductive Parasitism: A Factor In The Africanization Of European Honey-Bee Populations, Thomas E. Rinderer, Richard L. Hellmich Ii, Anita M. Collins, Robert G. Danka
Richard L Hellmich
Africanized drone honey bees (Apis mellifera) migrate into European honey-bee colonies in large numbers, but Africanized colonies only rarely host drones from other colonies. This migration leads to a strong mating advantage for Africanized bees since it both inhibits European drone production and enhances Africanized drone production
Male Effects On Fecundity In Drosophila Melanogaster, Ary A. Hoffman, Lawrence G. Harshman
Male Effects On Fecundity In Drosophila Melanogaster, Ary A. Hoffman, Lawrence G. Harshman
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
Effects of male Drosophila melanogaster on female fecundity and productivity were examined, considering both females held in containers with males and females exposed to male effects not involving contact. Females were more fecund when male effects were present, and the largest increase was recorded when vials were previously conditioned by males. This effect was probably due to the growth of transmitted microorganisms, which were observed on the laying surface, as further experiments with vials conditioned by virgin females showed a similar increase in fecundity. A male-specific effect was isolated by conditioning bottles containing only agar with males and virgin females. …
The Origin And Distribution Of Clonal Diversity In Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
The Origin And Distribution Of Clonal Diversity In Alsophila Pometaria (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), Lawrence G. Harshman, Douglas J. Futuyma
Lawrence G. Harshman Publications
A survey of spatial and temporal variation in the frequency of electrophoretically defined genotypes in the geometrid moth Alsophila pometaria revealed a high diversity of uncommon or rare asexual genotypes and clinal distributions of two of the more common clones. There was substantial year-to-year variation in genotype frequencies in seven of eleven sites. Progeny tests have revealed that sexual reproduction is uncommon in two populations and that new asexual genotypes arise from the sexual population. The recurrent origin of asexual genotypes is likely to account for the high genetic and ecological diversity of the asexual contingent of this species’ populations, …
Unidirectional Reproductive Incompatibility Between Aedes (Protomacleaya) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor, George B. Craig
Unidirectional Reproductive Incompatibility Between Aedes (Protomacleaya) Brelandi And A. (P.) Hendersoni (Diptera: Culicidae)., David B. Taylor, George B. Craig
David B Taylor
Forced mating was used to determine reproductive compatibility between two species in the Triseriatus Group of Aedes (Protomacleaya). In the cross between A. hendersoni Cockerell females and A. brelandi Zavortink males, only 7% of the females laid eggs that developed embryos. Furthermore, <5% of the eggs from single-female clutches in which one or more eggs did embryonate were fertile. In the reciprocal cross, A. brelandi females crossed to A. hendersoni males, 70% of the females laid fertile eggs and >80% of the eggs from those females became embryonated. Approximately 80% of the females were inseminated in both of the reciprocal crosses, No chromosomal abnormalities were observed in the hybrids. Incompatibility between the A. brelandi male genome and the A. hendersoni female cytoplasm appeared to be the cause of the reduced fertility.
Speciation In The Aedes Triseriatus Species Complex, David B. Taylor
Speciation In The Aedes Triseriatus Species Complex, David B. Taylor
David B Taylor
Interspecific hybridization was used to determine the genetic relationships between the four species of mosquitoes in the Triseriatus and Zoosophus groups of the aedine subgenus Protomacleaya (Diptera: Culicidae). Four factors were investigated: 1) fertility of intra- and interspecific crosses, 2) morphology of the interspecific hybrids and the genetic bases of morphological characters, 3) modes of postcopulatory reproductive isolation and 4) types of chromosomal changes occurring during and subsequent to the divergence of the species. Hybrid progeny were produced in 11 of the 12 possible crosses between the four species. Only the Aedes zoosophus female X A. brelandi male cross failed …

Somatic Pairing In Drosophila Virilis Mitosis, William C. Guest
Somatic Pairing In Drosophila Virilis Mitosis, William C. Guest
Journal of the Arkansas Academy of Science
In neuroblast cells homologous chromosomes tend to pair during prophase of mitosis. Heterochromatic elements of homologous chromosomes are widely separated in very early prophase, at which time the euchromatin is poorly stained. Pairing is intimate for euchromatic portions of chromosomes in early and middle prophase with chiasmata frequently present. Homologous chromosomes most commonly lie side-by-side in late prophase and metaphase. Statistical data are presented to show the frequency of intimate pairing in prophase and side by side pairing in metaphase.
The Cytogenetics Of The Salivary Gland Chromosomes Of Three Wild Type Strains Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Rosemary Ann Harris
The Cytogenetics Of The Salivary Gland Chromosomes Of Three Wild Type Strains Of Drosophila Melanogaster, Rosemary Ann Harris
Masters Theses
This investigation involves the cytogenetics of three strains of field-collected, wild-type Illinois Drosophila melanogaster. These three strains were collected from Charleston, Channahon, and Olney, Illinois, in 1967.
The purpose of this study was to compare cytogenetically these three strains and to determine if there exists differences among them. First, the chromosomes themselves were studied for the purpose of identifying the four chromosomes of D. melanogaster by their characteristic banding patterns. Then, the chromosomes of the three strains were examined for chromosomal aberrations, principally inversions. The cytogenetics of the chromosomes of the three strains were then compared and contrasted.

An Analysis Of Gene-Enzyme Variability In Natural Populations Of Drosophila Melanogaster And D. Simulans, Stephen J. O'Brien, Ross J. Macintyre
Biology Faculty Articles
Nine populations of D. melanogaster and two populations of D. simulans were analyzed for polymorphism in 10 gene-enzyme systems by the technique of gel electrophoresis. In the eight natural populations of D. melanogaster, an average of 54% of the enzymes were polymorphic, and the average heterozygosity was 22.7%. An experimental population of D. melanogaster, which has been maintained in a laboratory cage for 20 years, showed levels of polymorphism equivalent to those of natural populations. The D. simulans populations had much less variability. The possible factors involved in maintaining these polymorphisms are discussed.
