Integrative developmental ecology: a review of density-dependent effects on life-history traits and host-microbe interactions in non-social holometabolous insects
Population density modulates a wide range of eco-evolutionary processes including inter-
and intra-specific competition, fitness and population dynamics. In holometabolous insects …

Hormesis-like effect of mild larval crowding on thermotolerance in Drosophila flies
Crowding is a complex stress that can affect organisms' physiology, especially through
decreased food quality and accessibility. Here, we evaluated the effect of larval density on …

Diet‐induced plasticity of life‐history traits and gene expression in outbred Drosophila melanogaster population
Food is fundamental for the survival of organisms, governing growth, maintenance, and
reproduction through the provision of essential macronutrients. However, access to food with …

Larval crowding results in hormesis-like effects on longevity in Drosophila: timing of eclosion as a model
OV Lushchak, HS Karaman, IA Kozeretska, AK Koliada… - Biogerontology, 2019 - Springer
There is increasing evidence that stress during development can affect adult-life health
status and longevity. In the present study, we examined life span (LS), fly weight, fecundity …

Larval density affects phenotype and surrounding bacterial community without altering gut microbiota in Drosophila melanogaster
Larval crowding represents a complex stressful situation arising from inter-individual
competition for time-and space-limited resources. The foraging of a large number of …
