Starvation resistance is associated with developmentally specified changes in sleep, feeding and metabolic rate

Elizabeth Brown, Melissa E. Slocumb, Milán Szuperák, Arianna Kerbs, Allen G. Gibbs, Matthew S. Kayser, Alex C. Keene

This study shows that selection for starvation resistance in Drosophila melanogaster leads to delayed development and reduced metabolic rate in larvae, which persist into adulthood, along with changes in feeding and sleep behavior.

Sleep-Dependent Modulation Of Metabolic Rate In Drosophila

Bethany A. Stahl, Melissa E. Slocumb, Hersh Chaitin, Justin R. DiAngelo, Alex C. Keene

This paper develops a system to measure sleep and metabolic rate in Drosophila, revealing sleep-dependent regulation of metabolic rate and its genetic basis in starvation.
