Cuticular hydrocarbons: their evolution and roles in Drosophila pheromonal communication.

Behavior genetics - 1 May 2005

Ferveur Jean-François

Abstract excerpt

I review the recent literature on cuticular hydrocarbons (CHs) in Drosophila. First, the major structural features of CHs are examined in a variety of species with regard to phylogeny. The genetic bases of the CH variation between and within species have been investigated with some of the genes involved characterized and manipulated. The effect of non-genetic factors as temperature, food and development is also...
