Social clustering behaviors in Drosophila are closely tied to compensatory mechanisms for developmental traits and adaptive behavior plasticity, requiring early-life social experiences and the memory-encoding neuropeptide signaling pathway.

Stress-regulated secretion of an intestinal peptide positively regulates the antioxidant response by promoting neuropeptide release from the nervous system, defining a gut-to-brain-to-gut endocrine axis in the oxidative stress response.

Protein nutritional requirements decrease predictively with mass throughout ontogeny across the animal kingdom.

Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and RNA sequencing have elucidated the complex transcript regulation pathways orchestrated by SntB, pivotal for Aspergillus flavus's development, mycotoxin production, and virulence.
