British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Children's relationship with time in preschools is an under‐researched area. Young children rarely know how to measure time using a clock, but their experiences of time may contribute to understanding children's well‐being and debates about quality in preschools.

Fruit flies and the sperm proteome [PDF]
Human Molecular Genetics, 2007 Sperm have been studied for their obvious role in fertilization and as a model system for cell-cell interactions and cell signaling. Despite its central and critical role in reproduction, we know surprisingly little about the overall molecular composition of sperm.

Studying Aggression in Drosophila (fruit flies) [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2007 Aggression is an innate behavior that evolved in the framework of defending or obtaining resources. This complex social behavior is influenced by genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. In many organisms, aggression is critical to survival but controlling and suppressing aggression in distinct contexts also has become increasingly important.

Odour intensity learning in fruit flies [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2009 Animals' behaviour towards odours depends on both odour quality and odour intensity. While neuronal coding of odour quality is fairly well studied, how odour intensity is treated by olfactory systems is less clear. Here we study odour intensity processing at the behavioural level, using the fruit flyDrosophila melanogaster.

eLife, 2013 A method that can analyse the movements of Drosophila as they walk is a valuable addition to the tools available to neurobiologists, and has already led to insights into the interplay of central networks and sensory feedback in this model organism.

Of flies and men: insights on organismal metabolism from fruit flies [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2013 The fruit fly Drosophila has contributed significantly to our general understanding of the basic principles of signaling, cell and developmental biology, and neurobiology. However, answers to questions pertaining to energy metabolism have been so far mostly addressed in more complex model organisms such as mice. We review in this article recent studies

Impact of fruit flies (Diptera:Tephritidae) on Chayote (Sechium edule) in Reunion Island [PDF]
, 2010 Background. Chayote is a popular vegetable in Reunion Island. Traditionally and extensively cultivated for its leaves, it is nowadays usually intensively cultivated under treillises for the production of fruit. A high number of fruit fallen on the ground

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.
