Host species and environmental effects on bacterial communities associated with Drosophila in the laboratory and in the natural environment [PDF]

, 2012
The fruit fly Drosophila is a classic model organism to study adaptation as well as the relationship between genetic variation and phenotypes. Although associated bacterial communities might be important for many aspects of Drosophila biology, knowledge about their diversity, composition, and factors shaping them is limited.

Rearing the Fruit Fly Drosophila melanogaster Under Axenic and Gnotobiotic Conditions.

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016
The influence of microbes on myriad animal traits and behaviors has been increasingly recognized in recent years. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is a model for understanding microbial interactions with animal hosts, facilitated by approaches to ...

MTCH2 Suppresses Thermogenesis by Regulating Autophagy in Adipose Tissue

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that MTCH2 acts as an evolutionarily conserved regulator of energy homeostasis across Drosophila, rodents, and humans. Adipose‐specific MTCH2 ablation enhances brown/beige adipose thermogenesis through Bcl‐2‐dependent autophagy, promoting energy expenditure and counteracting obesity‐associated metabolic disorders. These findings

Parametric Alignment of Drosophila Genomes [PDF]

, 2005
The classic algorithms of Needleman--Wunsch and Smith--Waterman find a maximum a posteriori probability alignment for a pair hidden Markov model (PHMM). In order to process large genomes that have undergone complex genome rearrangements, almost all existing whole genome alignment methods apply fast heuristics to divide genomes into small pieces which ...

Chromosome‐Level Genome Assembly of the Leafcutter Bee Megachile rotundata Reveals Its Ecological Adaptation and Pollination Biology

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The genome of Megachile rotundata, an extensively managed solitary pollination bee species, has been sequenced, covering 280.68 Mb and predicting 10 701 genes. The study reveals significant expansions of the Toll gene family and their abundant expression in diapause prepupae, highlighting enhanced immune responses during diapause. This genome serves as

Organization of descending neurons in Drosophila melanogaster

Scientific Reports, 2016
Neural processing in the brain controls behavior through descending neurons (DNs) - neurons which carry signals from the brain to the spinal cord (or thoracic ganglia in insects).

A conserved morphogenetic mechanism for epidermal ensheathment of nociceptive sensory neurites. [PDF]

, 2019
Interactions between epithelial cells and neurons influence a range of sensory modalities including taste, touch, and smell. Vertebrate and invertebrate epidermal cells ensheath peripheral arbors of somatosensory neurons, including nociceptors, yet the ...

Machine Learning‐Based Wind Classification by Wing Deformation in Biomimetic Flapping Robots: Biomimetic Flexible Structures Improve Wind Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Strain gauges are attached to biomimetic flapping wings to investigate how wing strain sensors detect wind directions. A convolutional neural network model for wind direction classification is developed through experiments. The results reveal that wind classification is possible with strain data of only 0.2 flapping cycles, and the use of biomimetic ...
