The paper characterizes the synaptic connectome of neurosecretory cells in Drosophila, revealing their regulatory roles in physiology and behavior through input and output pathways.

The paper examines how circadian clock plasticity varies with latitude in 52 Drosophila species, finding distinct mechanisms in different subgenera.

This study identifies and localizes circadian clock neurons in Antarctic krill using immunostaining and in situ hybridization, revealing PDH-positive neuron clusters and core clock gene expression.

The paper introduces THERM-D, a machine learning tool to analyze body temperature rhythms in Drosophila, revealing that CRY-negative clock neurons regulate morning temperature rise independently of evening rhythms.

The paper identifies RHODOPSIN 7 as a non-canonical light sensor in Drosophila that influences behavior and shows its evolutionary origins across panarthropods.

The paper examines the correlation between circadian clock parameters and photoperiodic latitudinal clines in Drosophila littoralis, finding they align with diapause induction thresholds.

The paper maps the synaptic connectome of the Drosophila circadian clock, revealing additional neurons, contralateral connectivity, and novel peptidergic signaling.

This study shows that the circadian clock in Antarctic krill drives bimodal swimming activity patterns, which may underlie seasonal behaviors like diel vertical migration.

The paper shows that the circadian clock regulates rhythmic lipid transport in Drosophila hemolymph, influenced by diet, light, and feeding patterns.

This paper optimizes optogenetically functionalized GPCRs to achieve specific in vivo neuromodulatory signaling in Drosophila, showing rescue of endogenous receptor function.

The paper shows that light affects eclosion and locomotor activity in Drosophila through distinct sensory pathways.

The paper identifies two light sensors in Platynereis dumerilii that distinguish moonlight from sunlight to adjust a circadian clock to moon phase.

This study investigates how AKH signaling balances daily activity patterns in Drosophila under non-starving conditions through interactions with octopaminergic neurons and the fat body.

This study investigates dopamine signaling in Drosophila clock neurons and finds it does not regulate daytime sleep but promotes nighttime sleep via s-LNvs.

This paper introduces a thermal-visual place learning paradigm for honeybees to study navigation and learning under controlled conditions.

The paper identifies a light-mediated pathway in Drosophila that uses PDF-releasing lLNv neurons to adjust circadian rhythms to long day conditions.

This study investigates the impact of the Drosophila microbiome on sleep, activity, and courtship behaviors, finding limited influence.
