New paper from our lab showing that larvae exposed to thermal stress suffer higher mortality, but for those that survive, there are no long-term effects on reproduction later in life www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... ๐ŸŒก๏ธ๐Ÿž

Congrats to @jakobwiil.bsky.social on his first paper from his PhD! ๐Ÿฅณ

A Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 with a camera could be a good option. Itโ€™s a cheap and small computer that works well for recording.

Males of the fruit fly (Drosophila prolongata) engage in territorial contests, using their elongated forelegs as weapons to fend off rivals and secure access to females and food.
