The study of glycolysis, the TCA cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation in animals has yielded
a wealth of information about bioenergetics. Less is known about how animals use fuels …

Mitochondria are classically viewed as 'on demand'energy suppliers to neurons in support of
their activity. In order to adapt to a wide range of demands, mitochondria need to be highly …

Efficient energy use has constrained the evolution of nervous systems. However, it is
unresolved whether energy metabolism may resultantly regulate major brain functions. Our …

Cellular metabolism is regulated by enzyme complexes within the mitochondrion, the
function of which are sensitive to the prevailing temperature. Such thermal sensitivity …

Reference collections of multiple Drosophila lines with accumulating collections of “omics”
data have proven especially valuable for the study of population genetics and complex trait …

Populations arrayed along broad latitudinal gradients often show patterns of clinal variation
in phenotype and genotype. Such population differentiation can be generated and …

Ecologists are challenged to construct models of the biological consequences of habitat loss
and fragmentation. Here, we use a metapopulation model to predict the distribution of the …

Relevance-based selectivity and high energy cost are two distinct features of long-term
memory (LTM) formation that warrant its default inhibition. Spaced repetition of learning is a …

Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) are hydrophobic compounds deposited on the arthropod
cuticle that are of functional significance with respect to stress tolerance, social interactions …

Temperature shifts are a major challenge to animals; they drive adaptations in organisms
and species, and affect all physiological functions in ectothermic organisms. Understanding …
