This paper introduces an automated system to measure multiple timing metrics in Drosophila courtship behavior with high accuracy and minimal manual effort.

The paper identifies a CLK/CYC-dependent circuit in Drosophila that regulates interval timing independently of circadian rhythms.

This study identifies miR-9a as a regulator of sensory neuron morphology and mating behavior in Drosophila, showing its role in non-cell autonomous and cell-intrinsic mechanisms.

This study shows apamin, a honeybee venom peptide, has antimicrobial effects in Drosophila by targeting harmful bacteria and promoting beneficial ones, improving gut health and barrier integrity.

This study identifies a male-specific sNPF-sNPF-R neuron-glia circuit in Drosophila that regulates mating duration through energy balance by encoding sexual experience-related information.

This study identifies YL neurons and their molecular pathways as essential for sexual experience-dependent long-term memory in Drosophila.

This study identifies CG11000 as an astrocyte-enriched gene in Drosophila, showing its role in development, locomotion, and lifespan through single-cell RNA sequencing and functional assays.

This study shows that glia-specific Lgr4 expression is essential for Drosophila development, adult behavior, and lifespan, with no effect when knocked down in neurons.

Male Drosophila melanogaster adjust mating duration based on multisensory inputs from sexual experience to optimize reproductive investment.
