Once in adulthood, an intricate system of peripheral and brain thermosensors coordinates how flies respond to dynamic temperature changes. Starting with early development, the temperature at which a fly grows will determine how well it can cope with the climate challenges in its later adult life. Considering the relevance of Drosophila as a model organism, it is fundamental to continue exploring how temperature interacts with the other features of fly's existence, as it will help us predict how small ectotherms might be affected by climate change, while also answering basic neuroscience questions, such as how a brain integrates temperature information.ĪB - The work presented here demonstrates that temperature is a fundamental component of many fundamental aspect of a fly's life. This response is not just a predictable reaction it is a complex process that can be affected by other internal and external features of the fly, such as its own sex and the sex of surrounding flies. N2 - The work presented here demonstrates that temperature is a fundamental component of many fundamental aspect of a fly's life. T2 - How Drosophila melanogaster's response to temperature is modulated by sensory systems, social environment, development, and cognition
