Comparison of Preference for Chemicals Associated with Fruit Fermentation between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii and between Virgin and Mated D. melanogaster

Insects, 2023
Two taxonomically similar Drosophila species, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii, are known to have distinct habitats: D. melanogaster is mostly found near overripe and fermented fruits, whereas D. suzukii is attracted to fresh fruits.

Population Genomics of Sub-Saharan Drosophila melanogaster: African Diversity and Non-African Admixture [PDF]

, 2012
Drosophila melanogaster has played a pivotal role in the development of modern population genetics. However, many basic questions regarding the demographic and adaptive history of this species remain unresolved.

A protein restricted diet induces a stable increased fat storage phenotype in flies

Toxicology Reports, 2023
Background: Scientific evidence has revealed possible confounders in diet induced obesity models of Drosophila melanogaster. High Sugar Diet (HSD) induction of obesity in flies has been associated with fly hyperosmolarity and glucotoxicity, while High ...

Multilocus patterns of nucleotide variability and the demographic and selection history of drosophila melanogaster populations [PDF]

, 2005
Uncertainty about the demographic history of populations can hamper genome-wide scans for selection based on population genetic models. To obtain a portrait of the effects of demographic history on genome variability patterns in Drosophila melanogaster ...

Autophagy in Drosophila melanogaster

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2009
Macroautophagy (autophagy) is a bulk cytoplasmic degradation process that is conserved from yeast to mammals. Autophagy is an important cellular response to starvation and stress, and plays critical roles in development, cell death, aging, immunity, and cancer.

Anti-Aging Effect of Agrocybe aegerita Polysaccharide through Regulation of Oxidative Stress and Gut Microbiota

Foods, 2022
Polysaccharides extracted from Agrocybe aegerita (AAPS) have various physiological effects. In this study, we used the naturally aging Drosophila melanogaster and D-galactose-induced aging mice as animal models to study the anti-aging effects of AAPS via

Trypanosomatids are common and diverse parasites of Drosophila [PDF]

, 2011
Drosophila melanogaster is an important model system of immunity and parasite resistance, yet most studies use parasites that do not naturally infect this organism.

Rapid Evolution of Autosomal Binding Sites of the Dosage Compensation Complex in Drosophila melanogaster and Its Association With Transcription Divergence

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
How pleiotropy influences evolution of protein sequence remains unclear. The male-specific lethal (MSL) complex in Drosophila mediates dosage compensation by 2-fold upregulation of the X chromosome in males.

Analysis of neural stem cell self-renewal and differentiation by transgenic RNAi in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2013
The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, has proved to be a useful model organism for studying the biology of neural stem cells. Notably, significant progress has been made in identifying the molecular mechanisms that regulate the asymmetric cell ...
