In experiment 3, flies were dissected into heads, legs and wings. The body parts were placed into individual wells containing luciferin and a cell culture solution that kept the body parts alive. The body parts were subjected to 2 days of 12-hour-light-12-hours-dark cycles (with daytime 6AM-6PM), followed by 4 days in constant darkness, followed by 2 more days of 12-hour-light-12-hours-dark cycles (daytime from 12PM-12AM). Luciferase-driven light emissions were examined throughout. What were the results of this experiment? Oscillating PER-LUC gene expression was found in the Drosophila heads only Oscillating PER-LUC gene expression was found in the Drosophila legs only Oscillating PER-LUC gene expression was found in the Drosophila wings only Oscillating PER-LUC gene expression was found throughout the Drosophila body

Bouchard and Brooks studied the effect of insect flight on dispersal and speciation in rain forest insects. They sampled all of the insects in the study area and found that 60 insect species are flightless and 19 are able to fly. What can you conclude so far about this study? (P. Bouchard and D. R. Brooks. 2004. Effect of vagility potential on dispersal and speciation in rainforest insects. Journal of Evolutionary Biology 17:994-1006.) Flightless insects are more numerous in the study area. Flightless insects have a higher species richness in the study area. Flightless insects have a greater dispersal potential from this study area. Flightless insects are better suited for the tropics.
