Nutritional history affects stress-resistance architecture across ageing and sex

Devashish Kumar, Mohankumar Chandrakanth, Chetan S, Chand Sura, Nishant Kumar, Sudipta Tung

This study shows that nutritional history during development and adulthood affects stress resistance traits differently across age and sex in Drosophila, with distinct patterns in covariance and response to dietary changes.

Microbiota drives the sexually dimorphic infection outcomes in mealworm beetles

Srijan Seal, Devashish Kumar, Pavankumar Thunga, Pawan Khangar, Manisha Gupta, Dipendra Nath Basu, Rhitoban Raychoudhury, Imroze Khan

This study shows that microbiota influences sex-specific infection outcomes in mealworm beetles, with females being more susceptible and microbiota depletion reducing this dimorphism.

Effect of developmental and adult diet composition on reproductive aging in Drosophila melanogaster

B. G. Ruchitha, Devashish Kumar, Mohankumar Chandrakanth, Itibaw Farooq, Nishant Kumar, Chand Sura, S. Chetan, Sudipta Tung

This study investigates how developmental and adult diet composition affects reproductive aging in Drosophila melanogaster, finding age-dependent impacts with independent effects of developmental and adult diets.
