Anatomy and Physiology of the Digestive Tract of Drosophila melanogaster
The gastrointestinal tract has recently come to the forefront of multiple research fields. It is now recognized as a major source of signals modulating food intake, insulin secretion and energy balance.

Live Drosophila melanogaster Larvae Deter Oviposition by Drosophila suzukii
The worldwide invasive insect pest, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted-wing Drosophila), lays eggs in soft and stone fruit before harvest. Hatched larvae cause fruit collapse and significant economic losses.

Evolution of hydra, a recently evolved testis-expressed gene with nine alternative first exons in Drosophila melanogaster. [PDF]
We describe here the Drosophila gene hydra that appears to have originated de novo in the melanogaster subgroup and subsequently evolved in both structure and expression level in Drosophila melanogaster and its sibling species. D.

Three new Melanogaster species (Boletales, Paxillaceae) from southwestern China based on morphological and molecular evidence [PDF]
Three newly discovered Melanogaster species, namely M. cyaneus, M. diqingensis, and M. truncatisporus, are introduced and illustrated based on both morphological and molecular data from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces in China.

Trypanosomatids are common and diverse parasites of Drosophila [PDF]
SUMMARYDrosophila melanogasteris an important model system of immunity and parasite resistance, yet most studies use parasites that do not naturally infect this organism. We have studied trypanosomatids in natural populations to assess the prevalence and

Pengaruh Suhu Terhadap Siklus Hidup Lalat Buah (Drosophila melanogaster)
Fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) generally have four phases in their life cycle, namely eggs, larvae, pupae and imago. In general, Drosophila melanogaster experiences a life cycle of 8-11 days at optimal temperatures.

Life-History Evolution and the Genetics of Fitness Components in Drosophila melanogaster
Life-history traits or “fitness components”—such as age and size at maturity, fecundity and fertility, age-specific rates of survival, and life span—are the major phenotypic determinants of Darwinian fitness. Analyzing the evolution and genetics of these

Renal neuroendocrine control of desiccation and cold tolerance by Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
Background: Neuropeptides are central to the regulation of physiological, and behavioural processes in insects, directly impacting cold and desiccation survival.

The Drosophila melanogaster Gut Microbiota Provisions Thiamine to Its Host
The microbiota of Drosophila melanogaster has a substantial impact on host physiology and nutrition. Some effects may involve vitamin provisioning, but the relationships between microbe-derived vitamins, diet, and host health remain to be established ...
