New research using fruit flies reveals that sleep loss can trigger both increased eating and sleeping—if the deprivation leads to energy depletion.
This study investigates how sleep loss and circadian disruption affect whole-organ metabolism in flies (Drosophila melanogaster) and reports that wild-type flies align metabolism in anticipation of ...
A tiny neural network is sufficient to control the daily rhythm of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Researchers at the ...
Drosophila melanogaster has long served as a cornerstone in biological research offering deep insights into the fundamental ...
Figure 1: Gr28b is required for rapid negative thermotaxis. Figure 4: GR28B(D) and TRPA1(B) functionally substitute for one another. As gustatory receptor sequence diversity creates the potential for ...
Researchers have uncovered a surprising role for the "Frazzled" protein in helping neurons connect and communicate in the ...
Genetic studies in model organisms, including Drosophila, have a rich history of fundamental insights in neuroscience, including the identification and functional dissection of genes important in ...
1. The experiments reported were designed to study the causes and consequences of various responses emitted by female Drosophila melanogaster in relation to the behaviour of the courting male. 2. The ...
One of the best parts of working with the University of Idaho Extension is the constant opportunity to learn. Recently, I had ...
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a worldwide invasive pest. In Mexico, this species attacks various soft berries, plum, and guava. Currently, D. suzukii is monitored using ...
All main stocks (>5000 individual lines) of Drosophila melanogaster are housed within a 18 0 C/70%RH controlled room with a remote wireless monitoring and alarm service. The individual lab stock ...
