The main objective of this review is to provide an appraisal of the current status of the
relationship between energy intake and the life span of animals. The concept that a …

In Drosophila, microbial association can promote development or extend life. We tested the
impact of microbial association during malnutrition and show that microbial quantity is a …

Yeasts play an important role in nutrition physiology and host attraction of many Drosophila
species, and associations with various yeast species are documented for several …

Highlights•Manipulation of dietary amino acids can extend lifespan at the cost of
fecundity.•This reproduction-lifespan trade-off can be decoupled by adjusting methionine.• …

Larval Drosophila encounter and feed on a diverse microbial community within fruit. In
particular, free-living yeast microbes provide a source of dietary protein critical for …

Increased protein intake by adults typically enhances reproduction and shortens life, but
much less is known about the effects of protein intake prior to reproductive maturity. In …

Understanding the nutritional basis of food selection is fundamental to evaluate dietary
patterns and foraging strategies in primates. This research describes the phytochemical …

BACKGROUND Raspberry ketone (RK) is highly attractive to sexually mature, but not
immature, males of many Bactrocera species, including Queensland fruit fly ('Qfly' …

Yeasts, often in hydrolyzed form, are key ingredients in the larval and adult diets of tephritid
fruit fly colonies. However, very little is known about the presence or role of yeasts in the …

The trade-off between lifespan and reproduction is commonly explained by differential
allocation of limited resources. Recent research has shown that the ratio of protein to …
