Abstract Neuroscience research in Africa remains sparse. Devising new policies to boost Africa’s neuroscience landscape is imperative, but these must be based on accurate data outputs which largely lacking. Such reflect the heterogeneity of environments across continent’s 54 countries. Here, we analyse publications affiliated with African institutions between 1996 and 2017. Of 12,326 PubMed indexed publications, 5,219 show clear evidence that work was performed led by African-based...
Odorants of behaviorally relevant objects (e.g., food sources) intermingle with those from other sources. Therefore to determine whether an odor source is good or bad—without actually visiting it—animals first need segregate the odorants different To do so, animals could use temporal stimulus cues, because one exhibit correlated fluctuations, whereas sources are less correlated. However, timescales cues for segregation remain unclear. Using behavioral experiments free-flying flies, we show...
Animals socially interact during foraging and share information about the quality location of food sources. The mechanisms social transfer have been mostly studied at behavioral level, its underlying neural are largely unknown. Fruit flies become a model for studying bases transfer, because they provide large genetic toolbox to monitor manipulate neuronal activity, show rich repertoire behaviors. aggregate, use choosing suitable mating partner oviposition site, better aversive learning when...
Egg-laying behavior in insects has a dramatic impact on their fitness, controlling extent and distribution across ecosystems. Thus, understanding the cues that guide mosquito egg laying is an important goal. Measuring egg-laying preference critically for sensory neural mechanisms guiding adaptive breeding decisions. Here, we present method ascertaining of individual
Egg-laying preferences of mosquitoes can reveal key neurosensory mechanisms informing the decision-making process for this critical behavior. A single blood meal results in a gravid female
ABSTRACT Animals socially interact during foraging and share information about the quality location of food sources. The mechanisms social transfer have been mostly studied at behavioral level, its underlying neural are largely unknown. fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has become a model for studying bases transfer, as flies show rich repertoire behaviors provide well-developed genetic toolbox to monitor manipulate neuronal activity. Social already characterized flies’ egg laying, mate...
SUMMARY Odorants of behaviorally relevant objects (e.g., food sources) intermingle with those from other sources. Therefore, to sniff out whether an odor source is good or bad – without actually visiting it animals first need segregate the odorants different To do so, could use temporal cues, since one exhibit correlated fluctuations, while sources are less correlated. However, remains unclear can rely solely on cues for segregation. Here we show that 1) flies a few milliseconds differences...
The female mosquito is endowed with the responsibility of gene transfer from one generation to another through careful delivery her eggs an appropriate environment. To guarantee a successful reproduction process, mosquitoes use evaluative approach select oviposition site that will ensure their progeny successfully hatch and develop larvae pupa adult. Specific conditions must be met during selection before gravid females deposit eggs, including but not limited temperature, salinity, pH;...
