Many organisms,including humans,have evolved dynamic social behaviors to promote survival.Public health studies show that isolation from social groups is a major risk factor for adverse health outcomes in humans,but t...
A mutation in an ontogene acts as a conditional dominant lethal: it is lethal in a certain genotype but not lethal in another. In total, 30 mutations of this type residing in the Drosophila melanogaster X chromosome h...

Animal senses and signals are amazingly diverse,and the major modalities by which animals acquire sensory input from their environments are sound,light,vibration,and chemical signals.Insects mainly rely on visual,noci...
Genetic diversity in natural populations has been explored through evolutionary analysis,and patterns of microscale biodiversity have been studied in populations at“Evolution Canyon”,Israel.A total of 2,000 eggs fro...
In order to gain insights into the seasonal dynamics of genetic variation in insecticide resistance within a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster during population growth, which we considered the most importa...

The series of stereotypical physiological and behavioral changes that female insects exhibit after mating are called postmating responses(PMR). Wolbachia are widespread intracellular bacteria that are well known for t...
Capsaicin(trans-8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide) is the main component in hot peppers, including red chili peppers, alapenos, and habanero, belonging to the genus Capsicum. Capsaicin is a potent antioxidant that inte...
The three-dimensional organization of the genome is closely related to its functioning. Interactions between parts of the genome located at large distances from each other have been detected within the chromosomes of ...
