This project aims to establish Drosophila sechellia as a model organism for studying the evolution of behavior and nervous systems. By comparing it with closely related species, the research will explore genetic and neuroanatomical adaptations linked to its unique ecological niche.
How animals’ extraordinarily diverse behaviors have evolved is unknown.
Relating interspecific behavioral differences to anatomical or physiological distinctions in neural circuits, and causal genetic variation, offers a powerful approach to inform how nervous systems develop, function and change.Understanding behavioral and nervous system evolution requires deep investment in select species.
We propose to establish a new model neurogenetic system:
Drosophila sechellia, an island endemic that is…
