Lastly, we also discuss how early life starvation experiences can be logged to later impact adult physiological traits, and how such memory could be wired. * Author for correspondence ( [email protected] ) Competing interests The authors declare...

Gibbs ABSTRACT Previous studies have shown that selection for starvation resistance in Drosophila melanogaster results in delayed eclosion and increased adult fat stores. It is assumed that these traits are caused by the starvation selection pressure, but its mechanism...
