Insects exposed to low temperature often have high mortality or exhibit sublethal effects. A
growing number of recent studies have shown beneficial effects of exposing insects to …

Metabolomic analysis provides a powerful new tool for studies of Drosophila physiology.
This approach allows investigators to detect thousands of chemical compounds in a single …

Cold tolerance is a key determinant of insect distribution and abundance, and thermal
acclimation can strongly influence organismal stress tolerance phenotypes, particularly in …

Much recent theoretical and empirical work has sought to describe the physiological
mechanisms underlying thermal tolerance in animals. Leading hypotheses can be broadly …

Dietary restriction (DR) is a robust intervention that extends lifespan and slows the onset of
age‐related diseases in diverse organisms. While significant progress has been made in …

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an insect of tropical origin. Its larval stage is
evolutionarily adapted for rapid growth and development under warm conditions and shows …

Crowding is a complex stress that can affect organisms' physiology, especially through
decreased food quality and accessibility. Here, we evaluated the effect of larval density on …

When exposed to constant low temperatures (CLTs), insects often suffer from cumulative
physiological injuries that can severely compromise their fitness and survival. Yet, mortality …

Metabolomic analyses can reveal associations between an organism's metabolome and
further aspects of its phenotypic state, an attractive prospect for many life‐sciences …

Colonization of the intestinal tract by Candida albicans (C. albicans) can lead to invasive
candidiasis. Therefore, a functional intestinal epithelial barrier is critical for protecting …
