Research paper

Although Drosophila melanogaster fruit flies are cold-blooded, they can survive a wide range of temperatures. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Brankatschk et al. (2018) discover a mechanism by which flies extend their viable temperature range by altering their diet in response to environmental temperature.
