Sex-specific gut bacteria manipulation impacts offspring production in the honeybee parasite small hive beetle, Aethina tumida Murray

M. J. H. Biswas, M. K. Khan, S. Bashiribod, F. Ponton

This study shows that altering gut bacteria in male and female small hive beetles affects their mating behavior and offspring production.

Sugar-rich larval diet promotes lower adult pathogen load and higher survival after infection in a polyphagous fly

H. Dinh, I. Lundback, A. T. Than, J. Morimoto, F. Ponton

This study shows that a sugar-rich larval diet increases female adult fruit fly resistance to bacterial infection and reduces pathogen load, with no effect in males.

Density-by-diet interactions during larval development shape adult life-history trait expression and fitness in a polyphagous fly

J. Morimoto, A. T. Than, B. Nguyen, I. Lundback, H. Dinh, F. Ponton

This study investigates how larval density and diet interact to influence adult life-history traits and fitness in Bactrocera tryoni, showing diet-specific effects on development, fecundity, and lipid reserves.

Macronutrients modulate resistance to infection and immunity in Drosophila

F. Ponton, J. Morimoto, K. Robinson, S. S. Kumar, S. Cotter, K. Wilson, S. J. Simpson

This study shows that Drosophila infected with M. luteus reduce protein intake and increase carbohydrate intake, improving survival through nutritional self-medication.

Social and nutritional factors shape larval aggregation, foraging, and body mass in a polyphagous fly

J. Morimoto, B. Nguyen, S. Tarahi Tabrizi, F. Ponton, P. W. Taylor

This study shows that larval aggregation in Bactrocera tryoni is influenced by density and diet concentration, with aggregation aiding growth in high-density environments.
