This study shows that female Drosophila melanogaster adjust their reproductive output based on same-sex density, revealing density-dependent plasticity that mediates Allee effects.

This study investigates how circadian activity and timeless splicing in Drosophila respond to complex environmental cycles with varying temperature-light lags, revealing temperature sensitivity and evolutionary adaptation.

This study investigates how novel light regimes affect circadian activity waveforms in Drosophila, showing dim scotopic illumination induces activity bifurcation and reveals conserved circadian circuit reorganisation.

This study shows that overexpression of HSP40 in pacemaker neurons rescues circadian dysfunction in a Drosophila Huntington's Disease model by restoring circadian proteins and reducing Huntingtin inclusion load.

This study shows that mechanosensory stimulation via Nanchung-expressing neurons in Drosophila promotes sleep, independent of the circadian clock but controlled by the homeostatic system.

This study identifies INNEXIN2 as a gap junction protein that modulates the period of free-running rhythms in Drosophila melanogaster by affecting circadian pacemaker neuron function.

This study shows that sleep deprivation in Drosophila melanogaster reduces egg output, linking sleep loss to reproductive fitness.
