Poison frog dietary preference depends on prey type and alkaloid load

N. A. Moskowitz, R. D'Agui, A. Alvarez-Buylla, K. Fiocca, L. A. O'Connell

This study investigates poison frog dietary preferences, finding that frogs prefer smaller prey items and that alkaloid load does not significantly alter their preferences.

Larval mannitol diets increase mortality, prolong development, and decrease adult body sizes in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster).

M. Barrett, K. Fiocca, E. A. Waddell, C. McNair, S. O'Donnell, D. R. Marenda

This study shows that larval mannitol diets in Drosophila melanogaster increase mortality, prolong development, and reduce adult body size, similar to high-sugar diets, but females avoid laying eggs on mannitol-containing media.

Mannitol ingestion causes concentration-dependent, sex-specific mortality in adults of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster).

K. Fiocca, M. Barrett, E. A. Waddell, C. McNair, S. O'Donnell, D. R. Marenda

This study shows that mannitol ingestion causes concentration-dependent, sex-specific mortality in adult Drosophila melanogaster, with females showing higher mortality than males.
