Drosophila suzukii, which lays eggs on ripe fruits, differs from Drosophila melanogaster in sweet sensation, mechanosensation, and their integration.

The ion channel ppk301 is required for the evaluation of water purity during egg-laying, which promotes offspring survival in the arboviral vector mosquito Aedes aegypti.

Caenorhabditis elegans egg-laying behaviour shows pronounced variation in natural populations, making it a promising model to investigate the microevolution of a simple neural circuit.

The neural circuit that regulates egg-laying behavior in nematode worms is activated by egg production, coupled to the circuit that generates movement, and inhibited by sensory feedback from egg release.

Caenorhabditis elegans responds to predator threat by using dopamine signaling to alter the distribution of their eggs.

Drosophila use distinct sensory mechanisms to detect and integrate the same tactile and taste information in two decision-making tasks that serve two different purposes.

Simultaneous quantification of each of the main motor programs in the roundworm C. elegans yields new insights into the neural mechanisms that coordinate animal behavior.

The evolutionary transition of the agricultural pest Drosophila suzukii to egg laying on ripe fruits was paralleled with several gustatory innovations.

Honey bee queens adjust the provisioning of their eggs based on their perception of colony size via upregulation of metabolism, protein transport, and cytoskeletal reorganization, including the small GTPase Rho1.

Micronutrients, not macronutrients, regulate lifespan.
