ADAPTATION AGAINST LONG-TERM PROTEIN DEPRIVATION TRADES OFF WITH IMMUNOCOMPETENCE AND THE ABILITY TO SURVIVE PATHOGENIC INFECTIONS

Saubhik Sarkar, Dipendra Nath Basu, Simran Sethi…·Imroze Khan

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster selected for increased early-life reproduction under protein limitation show reduced immune resistance and survival after infection, with these effects being sex-specific and mitigated by mating.

Nutrition and density dependence of spontaneous female-biased dispersal in Drosophila

Subhasish Halder, Utkarsh Bhore, Bodhisatta Nandy

This study investigates how nutrition and adult density influence sex-biased dispersal in Drosophila melanogaster, finding that female dispersal is sensitive to protein availability and density-dependent in males.

Sexual conflict over mating duration and frequency in Zygogramma bicolorata

Rabi Sankar Pal, Anirban Bhowmick, Bodhisatta Nandy

The paper investigates sexual conflict in Zygogramma bicolorata by examining the effects of mating duration and frequency on female fecundity and survivorship, finding that prolonged mating is detrimental to female fitness.

Long mounting with repeated copulations in Zygogramma bicolorata: A test of adaptive significance of a curious mating behaviour

Rabi Sankar Pal, Anirban Bhowmick, Kunmun Naik, Bodhisatta Nandy

This study investigates the adaptive significance of long copulations in Zygogramma bicolorata, finding that repeated copulations and leg rubbing behavior influence female remating and may serve as mate guarding.

Adaptation to yeast restriction through the evolution of resource acquisition, macronutrient reserve, and ovarian function

Purbasha Dasgupta, Anish Koner, Rabi Sankar Pal…·Bodhisatta Nandy

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster evolved higher early-life fecundity under protein restriction through increased larval feeding, lipid storage, and ovarian plasticity.
