DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2017.07.054
Abstract: Spectacular examples of cooperative behavior emerge among a variety of animals and may serve critical roles in fitness [1, 2]. However, the rules governing such behavior have been difficult to elucidate [2]. Drosophila larvae are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.14254
Abstract: Chemical warfare including insecticidal secondary metabolites is a well‐known strategy for environmental microbes to monopolize a food source. Insects in turn have evolved behavioural and physiological defences to eradicate or neutralize the harmful microorganisms. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2022.734208
Abstract: A transition from one developmental stage to another is accompanied by activation of developmental programs and corresponding gene ensembles. Changes in the spatial conformation of the corresponding loci are associated with this activation and can… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01010
Abstract: For several decades, Drosophila has been widely used as a suitable model organism to study the fundamental processes of associative olfactory learning and memory. More recently, this condition also became true for the Drosophila larva,… read more here.
