| tolerance of drosophila flies to ibotenic acid poisons in mushrooms. | the mushroom genus amanita has a spectrum of chemical compounds affecting survival and performance of animals. ibotenic acid is one of such compounds found in some amanita mushrooms. we studied the effects of ibotenic acid and its derivative, muscimol, on egg-to-pupa survival, pupation time, and pupal size in five drosophila species (diptera: drosophilidae), drosophila bizonata, drosophila angularis, drosophila brachynephros, drosophila immigrans, and drosophila melanogaster. the first three spe ... | 2007 | 17195114 |
