The inversion In(2L)t impacts complex, environmentally sensitive behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster

Benedict Adam Lenhart, Alan O. Bergland

This study examines how the In(2L)t inversion in Drosophila melanogaster affects environmentally sensitive behaviors, showing sex-specific and temperature-consistent impacts on activity, foraging, and startle response.

Variation in filamentous growth and response to quorum-sensing compounds in environmental isolates of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Benedict Adam Lenhart, Brianna Meeks, Helen A. Murphy

The paper quantifies variation in pseudohyphal growth and quorum-sensing response across environmental S. cerevisiae isolates, finding population-specific growth patterns and rare quorum-sensing responses.
