Linked from

The 29 pages that link to Drosophila melanogaster, each with the reason it gives.

• Complete metamorphosisBroader topic: Its short, experimentally tractable life cycle supports research on metamorphosis.

• Model organismBroader topic: Its genetics has exposed genes and pathways that govern animal development.

• Sexual conflictBroader topic: Experimental populations of this species have helped test whether sexual conflict changes adaptation and fitness.

• MorphogenBroader topic: Its early embryo revealed how maternal signals establish concentration-dependent gene-expression domains.

• DipteraBroader topic: This species makes the order’s experimental value especially visible.

• PancrustaceaBroader topic: This insect has made pancrustacean development and genetics experimentally accessible.

• InsectaBroader topic: Research on this insect has helped reveal mechanisms shared across animals.

• InvertebrateBroader topic: This invertebrate has helped reveal mechanisms shared across animals.

• Cell lineageBroader topic: Clonal analysis in this model revealed how embryonic cell descendants form tissues.

• ProtostomeBroader topic: This ecdysozoan model reveals conserved mechanisms of animal development.

• Jules A. HoffmannBroader topic: Hoffmann’s group used this species to uncover infection-triggered immune defenses.
