Female fruit flies cannot protect stored sperm from high temperature damage

B. S. Walsh, S. R. Parratt, R. R. Snook, A. Bretman, D. Atkinson, T. A. R. Price

This study shows female fruit flies cannot protect stored sperm from high temperatures, with Drosophila virilis sperm being more vulnerable than Zaprionus indianus sperm.

Female fruitflies use gustatory cues to exhibit reproductive plasticity in response to the social environment

E. K. Fowler, S. Leigh, W. G. Rostant, A. Thomas, A. Bretman, T. Chapman

The paper shows that female fruitflies adjust their reproductive behavior based on social environment through gustatory cues, not olfactory or visual cues.

Reproductive plasticity in both sexes interacts to determine mating behaviour and fecundity

E. K. Fowler, S. Leigh, A. Bretman, T. Chapman

This study investigates how reproductive plasticity in both sexes of Drosophila melanogaster interacts to influence mating behavior and fecundity, showing that these interactions can affect fitness outcomes.

Temperatures that sterilise males better predict global distributions of species than lethal temperatures

S. R. Parratt, B. Walsh, S. Metelmann, N. White, A. Manser, A. Bretman, A. A. Hoffmann, R. Snook, T. Price

This study shows that male sterility temperatures predict global distributions of 43 Drosophila species better than lethal temperatures, suggesting thermal limits to reproduction influence species distributions.

Social environment drives sex and age-specific variation in Drosophila melanogaster microbiome composition and predicted function.

T. Leech, L. McDowall, K. P. Hopkins, S. M. Sait, X. A. Harrison, A. Bretman

This study shows that social environments affect the microbiome of Drosophila melanogaster in sex- and age-specific ways, influencing immunity and aging.
