The control of wing kinematics and flight forces in fruit flies (Drosophila spp.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
By simultaneously measuring flight forces and stroke kinematics in several species of fruit flies in the genus Drosophila, we have investigated the relationship between wing motion and aerodynamic force production. We induced tethered flies to vary their

Microbiota‐Dependent Longevity Effects of Aronia Berry (Aronia melanocarpa) in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesFood Frontiers, EarlyView.
Aronia berry extract extends lifespan in Drosophila melanogaster by modulating commensal microbes, reducing oxidative stress, and activating the immune system via the Toll pathway. Its longevity effects are dependent on gut microbiota, highlighting the interplay between polyphenols, microbes, and aging.

Two Decades of Optogenetic Tools: A Retrospective and a Look Ahead

open access: yesAdvanced Genetics, EarlyView.
Optogenetics provides up to millisecond scale, cell type‐specific control of biology using light‐sensitive proteins. This review chronicles two decades of tool development, from microbial rhodopsins and photoactivated enzymes to allosteric switches, surveys broad applications in neuroscience, molecular and cell biology, cardiology, immunology, and ...

On West African Trypetidæ (Fruit flies) [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of Entomological Research, 1910
The family of the Trypetidæ is of great economic importance, for among its numerous genera are to be found many pests of the orchard and farm. The flies of this family are rarely brought to the notice of Europeans in West Africa, for there farming operations are entirely in the hands of the native population and the amount of damage done by these ...

A common‐sense commentary on religious values and consumer behavior

open access: yesJournal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aglozo and Cohen (2025) lay out their view of religion and values, and this commentary builds on their work by considering the religious landscape, infusing values with their religious underpinnings, and discussing the implications for consumer research (such as sustainability).

Behavioral Ecology of an Invasive Species: Habitat and Mate Preference(s) in Drosophila Suzukii [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The invasive Spotted-Wing fruit fly, Drosophila suzukii, has inflicted substantial economic losses to the soft-fruit agriculture industry worldwide due to the ability of females in this species to use a large, serrated ovipositor to cut the fruit’s skin ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Flying insects use olfaction to navigate towards fruits in complex odor environments with remarkable accuracy. Some fruits change odor profiles substantially during ripening and related species can prefer different stages.

Gene and Genome Duplication in Spiders

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In chelicerates whole genome duplications (WGDs) were identified in distinct groups. While there is evidence that Xiphosurans/horseshoe crabs had three rounds of WGD and arachnopulmonates (e.g. spiders and scorpions) had one WGD, in many other arachnid groups no WGD was identified.
