To locate the carbon dioxide-sensing genes, Leslie Vosshall of the Rockefeller Institute in New York and her colleagues worked with Drosophila melanogaster. Another scientific advance with considerable relevance for alternatives is the elucidation of fundamental biological processes, especially in the context of embryonic development in nonmammalian species, particularly Caenorhabditis elegans (a free-living nematode), Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), Danio rerio (zebraflsh), and Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog). In contrast to the seemingly hard-wired proclivities of Drosophila melanogaster, Gangestad suggests that humans may have evolved the ability to adapt our fertility behavior to environmental contingency. |
