Stalk-eyed flies [PDF]

Current Biology, 2005
What is a stalk-eyed fly? Among the true flies (Diptera) are many examples of species with bizarre head projections such as antlers, eyes that project out of the head or eyes that are on stalks (Figure 1Figure 1). In the Diopsid family, the exaggeration of eye-stalks can be extreme, with males having an eyespan greater than their body length. There are

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Foodborne Disease Prevention and Broiler Chickens with Reduced Campylobacter Infection

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Studies have suggested that flies play a linking role in the epidemiology of Campylobacter spp. in broiler chickens and that fly screens can reduce the prevalence of Campylobacter spp. We examined the year-round and long-term effects of fly screens in 10

The scaling of carbon dioxide release and respiratory water loss in flying fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) [PDF]

, 2000
By simultaneously measuring carbon dioxide release, water loss and flight force in several species of fruit flies in the genus Drosophila, we have investigated respiration and respiratory transpiration during elevated locomotor activity.

Prior Mating Experience Modulates the Dispersal of Drosophila in Males More Than in Females [PDF]

, 2011
Cues from both an animal’s internal physiological state and its local environment may influence its decision to disperse. However, identifying and quantifying the causative factors underlying the initiation of dispersal is difficult in uncontrolled ...

The Phylogenetic Relationships of the Fanniidae within the Muscoid Grade (Diptera: Calyptrata) Based on the Musculature of the Male Terminalia

Insects, 2022
The abdominal and pregenital segments and the genitalia were studied in males of Fannia subpellucens (Zetterstedt, 1845), Fannia canicularis (Linnaeus, 1761) and Fannia incisurata (Zetterstedt, 1838).

Analysing the significance of small conformational changes and low occupancy states in serial crystallographic data

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This protocol paper outlines methods to establish the success of a time‐resolved serial crystallographic experiment, by means of statistical analysis of timepoint data in reciprocal space and models in real space. We show how to amplify the signal from excited states to visualise structural changes in successful experiments.
