REFLEXIONES SOBRE UN MODELO DROSOPHILA EN TOPICOS DE ETOLOGA y BIOLOGO EVOLUTIVA PARA CONTRIBUIR EN LA ENSEÑANZA DE LAS CENCAS

Abstract

In this work, in first place it is analyzed the relationship between behaviour and evolution. Emphasis is made in Darwin( first father of Ethology) visión about the importance of habits and behaviour of organisms in the evolution of species. Konrad Lorenz, Austrian scientist, winner of the Nobel Price in 1973, postulates the validity of constructing phylogenetic trees using behavioral parameters. Lately it is analyzed the importance of behavioral genetics in the understanding of behavior evolution. Next it is emphasized the importance of using the Drosophila model in order to work in Evolutive Biology. Some previous findings about the Mesophragmatica group of Drosophila, south american endemic flies are also given. Finally it is mentioned validity of using the Drosophila model in the teaching of Science at the scholar level.
