    • Drosophila pupation behavior in the wild 
      Beltramí, Marcial; Medina Muñoz, María Cristina; Arce, David; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (Springer, 2010)
      We investigated pupa distributions of D. simulans, D. buzzatii, D. melanogaster, D. immigrans and D. hydei on a number of natural breeding sites. Pupae of all five species showed aggregated distributions, which prompted ...
    • Genetics analysis of larval foraging behavior in Drosophila funebris 
      Arizmendi, Claudia; Zuleta, Verónica; Ruiz-Dubreuil, Gladys; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (SPRINGER, 2008-09)
      To understand the genetics and evolution of foraging in larvae of Drosophila funebris, we examined two strains reared at different breeding sites in the wild. Larvae of the Til-Til strain breed in necrotic cactus tissue, ...
    • Germline variants in driver genes of breast cancer and their association with familial and early-onset ... 
      Fernández Moya, Alejandro; Morales, Sebastián; Arancibia, Trinidad; González Hormazábal, Patricio; Tapia, Julio; Godoy Herrera, Raúl; Reyes, José Miguel; Gómez, Fernando; Waugh, Enrique; Jara Sosa, Lilian (MDPI, 2020)
      The genetic variations responsible for tumorigenesis are called driver mutations. In breast cancer (BC), two studies have demonstrated that germline mutations in driver genes linked to sporadic tumors may also influence ...
    • Identification of a type II cystatin in Fragaria chiloensis: A proteinase inhibitor differentially regulated ... 
      Aceituno Valenzuela, Uri; Covarrubias, María Paz; Aguayo, María Francisca; Valenzuela Riffo, Felipe; Espinoza, Analía; Gaete Eastman, Carlos; Godoy Herrera, Raúl; Handford, Michael; Norambuena Morales, Lorena (Elsevier, 2018)
      The equilibrium between protein synthesis and degradation is key to maintaining efficiency in different physiological processes. The proteinase inhibitor cystatin regulates protease activities in different developmental ...
    • The Identification of Congeners and Aliens by Drosophila Larvae 
      Del Pino Castillo, Francisco; Jara, Claudia; Pino, Luis; Medina Muñoz, María Cristina; Alvarez, Eduardo; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (Public Library Science, 2015)
      We investigated the role of Drosophila larva olfactory system in identification of congeners and aliens. We discuss the importance of these activities in larva navigation across substrates, and the implications for allocation ...
    • The Neuro-Ecology of Drosophila Pupation Behavior 
      Pino Castillo, Francisco del; Jara, Claudia; Pino, Luis; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (2014)
      Many species of Drosophila form conspecific pupa aggregations across the breeding sites. These aggregations could result from species-specific larval odor recognition. To test this hypothesis we used larval odors of D. ...
    • Organization of foraging behavior in larvae of cosmopolitan, widespread, and endemic Drosophila species 
      Godoy Herrera, Raúl; Connolly, Kevin (2007)
      To explore the evolution of higher order behavioral traits we investigated the organization of foraging patterns in first instar larvae of natural populations of Drosophila. We examined Drosophila simulans (cosmopolitan); ...
    • Plasticity and Genotype 3 Environment Interactions for Locomotion in Drosophila melanogaster Larvae 
      Pino Castillo, Francisco del; Salgado, Erika; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (Springer, 2012)
      Locomotion is a primary means by which animals interact with the world. To understand the contribution of genotype 9 environment interactions to individual differences in D. melanogaster larval locomotion we investigated ...
    • The genetics and development of mandibles and hypopharyngeal sclerite and cornua in larvae of Drosophila gaucha 
      Álvarez Duarte, Eduardo; Pino Castillo, Francisco del; Jara Sosa, Lilian; Godoy Herrera, Raúl (Public Library Science, 2017)
      The genetics and epigenetic processes associated with morphological organization are a principal aim of biology, ranging from cohesion between cells to shape and size of organisms. We investigate the post-embryonic development ...
