EVOLUTION OF MULTIPLE ADDITIVE LOCI CAUSED DIVERGENCE BETWEEN DROSOPHILA YAKUBA AND D. SANTOMEA IN WING ROWING DURING MALE COURTSHIP.

Evolution of multiple additive loci caused divergence between Drosophila yakuba and D. santomea in wing rowing during male courtship.

In Drosophila, male flies perform innate, stereotyped courtship behavior.This innate behavior evolves rapidly between fly species, and is likely to have contributed to reproductive isolation and species divergence.We currently understand little about the neurobiological and genetic mechanisms that contributed to the evolution of courtship behavior.

Feasibility study on a stabilization method based on full spectrum reallocation for spectra having non-identical momentum features

Methodology for suppressing or recovering the distorted spectra, which may occur due to mutual non-uniformity and nonlinear response when a multi-detector is simultaneously operated for gamma spectroscopy, is presented with respect to its applicability to stabilization of spectra having the non-identical feature using modified full spectrum realloc
