The effects of temperature and diet during development, adulthood, and mating on reproduction in the red flour beetle
The effects of different temperatures and diets experienced during distinct life stages are not
necessarily similar. The silver-spoon hypothesis predicts that developing under favorable …

Parallel trait adaptation across opposing thermal environments in experimental Drosophila melanogaster populations
Thermal stress is a pervasive selective agent in natural populations that impacts organismal
growth, survival, and reproduction. Drosophila melanogaster exhibits a variety of putatively …

Disentangling the consequences of growth temperature and adult acclimation temperature on starvation and thermal tolerance in the red flour beetle
I Scharf, N Galkin, S Halle - Evolutionary Biology, 2015 - Springer
Temperature affects most aspects of animal life, and impacts particularly strongly on
ectotherms. We studied the combined effects of growth temperature and adult acclimation …

Physiological and molecular mechanisms associated with cross tolerance between hypoxia and low temperature in Thaumatotibia leucotreta
Biochemical adaptations allow insects to withstand exposures to hypoxia and/or
hypothermia. Exposure to hypoxia may interact either synergistically or antagonistically with …

Fasting increases survival to cold in FOXO, DIF, autophagy mutants and in other genotypes of Drosophila melanogaster
É Le Bourg, I Massou - Biogerontology, 2015 - Springer
Fasting increases survival to a severe cold stress in young and middle-aged wild-type flies,
this effect being lowered or absent at old age. As an attempt to determine the mechanisms of …

Effects of mild stresses applied in adults on aging and longevity
É Le Bourg - Life extension: lessons from Drosophila, 2015 - Springer
It is now known that some mild stresses can have positive effects on longevity, aging, and
resistance to severe stresses in several species, and particularly in Drosophila …
