Shifted levels of sleep and activity under darkness as mechanisms underlying ectoparasite resistance

J. B. Benoit, O. M. Ajayi, A. Webster…·M. Polak

This study shows that mite-resistant Drosophila melanogaster lines exhibit reduced sleep, increased activity, and metabolic gene expression, but decreased starvation resistance under darkness.

Behavioral and postural analyses establish sleep-like states for mosquitoes that can impact host landing and blood feeding

O. M. Ajayi, J. M. Marlman, L. A. Gleitz…·J. B. Benoit

This study identifies sleep-like states in mosquitoes through posture and behavioral analysis, showing sleep deprivation affects host landing and blood feeding.

Rapid stress hardening in the Antarctic midge improves male fertility by increasing courtship success and preventing the decline of accessory gland proteins following cold exposure

O. M. Ajayi, J. D. Gantz, G. Finch…·J. B. Benoit

This study shows that rapid hardening in Antarctic midges improves male fertility by enhancing courtship success and maintaining accessory gland protein expression after cold exposure.
