Genetic feminization of brain structures and changed sexual orientation in male DrosophilaJ F Ferveur
Department of Biology, New York University, NY 10003
Science 267:902-5. 1995..These two brain structures, both of which are involved in olfactory processing, may function in the recognition of sex-specific pheromones, in the control of sex-specific behaviors, or both...- PGal4 excision reveals the pleiotropic effects of Voila, a Drosophila locus that affects development and courtship behaviourY Grosjean
Développement et Communication Chimique, CNRS UMR 5548, Faculte des Sciences, Universite de Bourgogne, 6, Bd Gabriel, 21000 Dijon, France
Genet Res 77:239-50. 2001..This suggests a relationship between developmental viability and the amount of DNA inserted within the promoter of prospero... - Genetic feminization of pheromones and its behavioral consequences in Drosophila malesJ F Ferveur

Science 276:1555-8. 1997..The resulting flies generally exhibited male heterosexual orientation but elicited homosexual courtship from other males... - The pheromonal role of cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila melanogasterJ F Ferveur
Mecanismes de Communication, NAM4, URA CNRS 1491, Batiment 446, Universite Paris Sud, Orsay, France
Bioessays 19:353-8. 1997..Recent exploration of these interspecific variations, and of intraspecific variations, has led to the characterization of genes and to the mapping of structures that process the production and perception of chemical messages... 
Genetic elimination of known pheromones reveals the fundamental chemical bases of mating and isolation in DrosophilaF Savarit
Neurobiologie de l Apprentissage et de la Memoire Mécanismes de Communication, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique Unité Mixte de Recherche 8620, Universite Paris Sud, 91405 Orsay, France
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 96:9015-20. 1999..The absence of inhibitory pheromones leads to high levels of interspecific mating, suggesting an important role for these cuticular hydrocarbons in isolation between species...- Genetic identification of neurons controlling a sexually dimorphic behaviourS Gatti
UMR 8620, Bases Neurales du Mouvement chez la Drosophile, Universite Paris Sud, Orsay, F 91405, France
Curr Biol 10:667-70. 2000..Nor does it control male courtship behaviour, because feminisation of courtship was not correlated with the feminisation of locomotor activity... - Co-adaptation of pheromone production and behavioural responses in Drosophila melanogaster malesG Sureau
UMR CNRS 8620, Universite de Paris Sud, Orsay, France
Genet Res 74:129-37. 1999..The polymorphism of male courtship towards 7-P-rich males shows no correlation with the variation in male responses to female flies... - Voila, a new Drosophila courtship variant that affects the nervous system: behavioral, neural, and genetic characterizationM Balakireva
Unité de Recherche Associée Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique 1491, Universite Paris Sud, 91405 Orsay Cedex, France
J Neurosci 18:4335-43. 1998..The multiple behavioral effects of the Voila genetic variant are discussed in light of its expression in the nervous system and its genetic basis... - Simultaneous influence on male courtship of stimulatory and inhibitory pheromones produced by live sex-mosaic Drosophila melanogasterJ F Ferveur
U R A CNRS 1491, Universite Paris Sud, Orsay, France
Proc Biol Sci 263:967-73. 1996..The influence of secondary molecules on male behaviours was also evaluated. The role of these substances is discussed with regard to their structure, sexual specificity, and evolutionary function... - Genetic control of male cuticular hydrocarbons in Drosophila melanogasterJ F Ferveur
URA CNRS 1491, Universite Paris Sud, Orsay, France
Genet Res 67:211-8. 1996..melanogaster strains and between D. melanogaster and its sibling species D. simulans. The possible evolutionary and physiological causes of this variation as well as its functional implication for courtship behaviour are discussed... - Sex-specific non-pheromonal taste receptors in DrosophilaN Meunier
I N R A, Centre de Versailles, F 78026 Versailles Cedex, France
Curr Biol 10:1583-6. 2000..The fact that tarsal gustatory hairs exhibit a sexual dimorphism that affects the perception of non-pheromonal compounds suggests that sexual identity is more complex than has previously been thought [7,8]... - Genetic control of pheromones in Drosophila simulans. II. kété, a locus on the X chromosomeJ F Ferveur
Laboratoire de Biologie et Génétique Evolutives, CNRS, Gif sur Yvette, France
Genetics 133:561-7. 1993..Other reproductive characteristics are also affected, including egg-hatching. However, courtship behaviors in both sexes appear normal... - Control of apterous by vestigial drives indirect flight muscle development in DrosophilaF Bernard
Institut Jacques Monod, UMR 7592 CNRS, Universite Paris 7, Tour 43, 2, place Jussieu, 75251 Paris Cedex 05, France
Dev Biol 260:391-403. 2003..Moreover, we were able to rescue the muscle phenotype of vg(null) flies by using the activity of ap promoter to drive VG expression. Thus, vg appears to be a key regulatory gene of IFM development... - The genetic variant Voila causes gustatory defects during Drosophila developmentM Balakireva
Centre des Sciences du Goût, 21 000 Dijon, France
J Neurosci 20:3425-33. 2000..The simultaneous rescue of normal larval gustation together with adult viability after removal of the transposable PGAL4 element suggests that both these phenotypes are caused by the same inserted element...
