Pheromones mediating copulation and attraction in Drosophila
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Mating interactions in Drosophila melanogaster depend on a number of sensory cues targeting different modalities like hearing, taste, and olfaction. From an olfactory perspective, only negative fly-derived signals had been identified, whereas a positive signal mediating mating was missing. Here we demonstrate the presence of such a signal (methyl laurate) and dissect the neural mechanism underlying its detection. We also show that the same odorant together with two additional fly-derived odorants (methyl myristate and methyl palmitate) mediate attraction via a pathway separated from that involved in courtship. Interestingly, the odorants identified are attractive to several closely related species. Thus, we describe two highly important neural circuits involved in mating and attraction that seem to be conserved in Drosophila.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
