Lack of response to sex-peptide results in increased cost of mating in dunce Drosophila melanogaster females
Tracey Chapman,Tracey Chapman,Yves Choffat,Wendy E. Lucas,Eric Kubli,Linda Partridge,Linda Partridge +6 more
TL;DR: Drosophila melanogaster females homozygous for the dunce mutation have been reported to mate more often than females of a wild type stock (Canton-S), and the basis of this increased receptivity was investigated, by examining the response of dunce females to injection with a component of the male accessory fluid.

TL;DR: The paper added further evidence that CR and df/df mice differ in important ways, by showing that restricted dwarf mice live longer than either normal dwarf mice or controls restricted to levels that are typically found optimal and by pointing out that CR seemed to affect the slope of the survival curve, while thedf/df genotype altered not slope but offset point.

Brief carbon dioxide exposure blocks heat hardening but not cold acclimation in Drosophila melanogaster
Claire C. Milton,Linda Partridge +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that CO2 should not be used after hardening in heat resistance assays due to the complete reversal of the heat hardening process upon exposure to CO2.

Selection on age at reproduction in Drosophila melanogaster: female mating frequency as a correlated response.
TL;DR: Results indicate that the response to selection on age at reproduction has involved changes in the scheduling of female reproductive behavior, which resulted in higher late life female mating frequencies and increased early life mating frequencies.

Female Sensitivity to Diet and Irradiation Treatments Underlies Sex–Mortality Differentials in the Mediterranean Fruit Fly
James R. Carey,Pablo Liedo,Hans-Georg Müller,Jane-Ling Wang,Brad Love,Lawrence G. Harshman,Linda Partridge +6 more
TL;DR: Large-scale experiments on medflies that were subjected to sterilizing doses of ionizing radiation (plus intact controls) and maintained on either sugar-only or full, protein-enriched diets revealed that, whereas the mortality trajectories of both intact and irradiated male cohorts maintained on both diets are similar, the mortality patterns of females are highly variable.
