Evolution of Multiple Sensory Systems Drives Novel Egg-Laying Behavior in the Fruit Pest Drosophila suzukii
Current Biology - CB, 2017Co-Authors: Marianthi Karageorgi, Lasse Bräcker, Sébastien Lebreton, Caroline Minervino, Matthieu Cavey, K.p. Siju, Ilona Grunwald Kadow, Nicolas Gompel, Benjamin Prud’hommeAbstract:The rise of a pest species represents a unique opportunity to address how species evolve new behaviors and adapt to novel ecological niches [1]. We address this question by studying the egg-laying behavior of Drosophila suzukii, an invasive agricultural pest species that has spread from Southeast Asia to Europe and North America in the last decade [2]. While most closely related Drosophila species lay their eggs on decaying plant substrates, D. suzukii oviposits on ripening fruit, thereby causing substantial economic losses to the fruit industry [3-8]. D. suzukii has evolved an enlarged, serrated ovipositor that presumably plays a key role by enabling females to pierce the skin of ripe fruit [9]. Here, we explore how D. suzukii selects oviposition sites, and how this behavior differs from that of closely related species. We have combined behavioral experiments in multiple species with neurogenetics and mutant analysis in D. suzukii to show that this species has evolved a specific preference for oviposition on ripe fruit. Our results also establish that changes in mechanosensation, olfaction, and presumably gustation have contributed to this ecological shift. Our observations support a model in which the emergence of D. suzukii as an agricultural pest is the consequence of the progressive modification of several Sensory Systems, which collectively underlie a radical change in oviposition behavior.

The motion aftereffect as a universal phenomenon in Sensory Systems involved in spatial orientation. III. Aftereffect of motion adaptation in the somatoSensory and vestibular Systems
Journal of Evolutionary Biochemistry and Physiology, 2016Co-Authors: I. G. AndreevaAbstract:The motion aftereffect may be considered as a consequence of visual illusions of self-motion (vection) and the persistence of Sensory information processing. There is ample experimental evidence indicating a uniformity of mechanisms that underlie motion aftereffects in different modalities based on the principle of motion detectors. Currently, there is firm ground to believe that the motion aftereffect is intrinsic to all Sensory Systems involved in spatial orientation, that motion adaptation in one Sensory system elicits changes in another one, and that such adaptation is of great adaptive importance for spatial orientation and motion of an organism. This review seeks to substantiate these ideas.

motion aftereffect as a universal phenomenon for Sensory Systems involved in spatial orientation iii aftereffect arising after adaptation to motion in somatoSensory and vestibular Systems
Journal of Evolutionary Biochemistry and Physiology, 2016Co-Authors: I. G. AndreevaAbstract:Motion aftereffect can be regarded as a consequence of self-motion illusions and lag effect of the Sensory performance. Numerous experimental facts provide evidence of common mechanisms of motion aftereffect in various modalities based on conception of motion detectors. At present here are serious rea- sons to suppose that motion aftereffect is a characteristic feature of all Sensory Systems involved in spatial orientation, adaptation to motion in one Sensory system results in a change of performance of another one and that such adaptation has an important adjusting significance for orientation of a moving organism. This review deals with argumentation of these conceptions.

The motion aftereffect as a universal phenomenon for Sensory Systems involved in spatial orientation: I. Visual aftereffects
Journal of Evolutionary Biochemistry and Physiology, 2014Co-Authors: I. G. AndreevaAbstract:At present there are serious grounds to believe that the motion aftereffect is characteristic of all Sensory Systems involved in spatial orientation, and that motion adaptation in one Sensory system causes changes in the other one, and that such adjustment is of critical adaptive significance. In this part of the review we report briefly outlined developments and the current state of studies of this issue in visual modality. The visual motion aftereffect has been studied more comprehensively as compared with other modalities. The main concepts about the mechanisms of this phenomenon and application of motion adaptation to studies of visual motion analysis at its different levels are actively used in current scientific literature to understand the mechanisms of this phenomenon in other Sensory Systems. A leading role of vision in spatial orientation is manifested in the interSensory interaction where visual motion adaptation brings about significant changes in perception in other modalities.
