The Effects of Population Density and Knock-downs of Llipid Metabolism Genes on the Expression of Cuticular Hydrocarbons in Drosophila melanogaser

In Drosophila melanogaster, chemical cues in the form of cuticular hydrocarbons play an important role in reproductive behavior. The social and genetic processes that regulate their expression, however, are poorly understood. The social environment has been shown to influence hydrocarbon display. In...
