A model-based analysis of chemical and temporal patterns of cuticular hydrocarbons in male Drosophila melanogaster.

A model-based analysis of chemical and temporal patterns of cuticular hydrocarbons in male Drosophila melanogaster.

Drosophila Cuticular Hydrocarbons (CH) influence courtship behaviour, mating, aggregation, oviposition, and resistance to desiccation. We measured levels of 24 different CH compounds of individual male D. melanogaster hourly under a variety of environmental (LD/DD) conditions. Using a model-based an...
