Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract As fragmented landscapes become increasingly common around the world, managing the spatial arrangement of landscape elements (i.e., landscape configuration) may help to promote the conservation of biodiversity. However, the relative effects of landscape configuration on different dimensions of biodiversity across species assemblages are ...

Detection of Volatile Constituents from Food Lures by Tephritid Fruit Flies
Insects, 2018 Tephritid fruit flies require protein for sexual and gonotrophic development. Food-based lures are therefore widely used in strategies to detect and control fruit flies in the Tephritidae family.

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.

International Journal of Eating Disorders, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 1708-1720, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective This study presents a psychometric evaluation of the avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) module 2.0 for the Eating Disorder Examination (EDE), its child (ChEDE), and parent version. Within a pediatric sample seeking treatment for restrictive feeding or eating disorders and non‐treatment‐seeking controls, the module's ...

Mutations of mitochondrial DNA are not major contributors to aging of fruit flies
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Mutations of mtDNA accumulate in aging humans and other mammals to cause mitochondrial dysfunction in a subset of cells in various tissues. Furthermore, experimental induction of mtDNA mutations causes a premature aging syndrome in the mouse.

Engineering Reports, Volume 5, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Transesterification of vegetable oils with homogeneous catalyst for biodiesel synthesis is considered to have a promising future, but it is nonrenewable and hazardous. High production cost, in terms of feedstock oil and catalyst acquisition is one of the major challenges facing the global commercialization of biodiesel.

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.

Evolution Letters, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 394-411, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...
