This project investigates how Drosophila insulin-like peptide 8 (DILP8) regulates developmental stability in fruit flies by coordinating growth and metamorphosis timing. It aims to uncover the mechanisms behind DILP8's function and its evolutionary significance in growth regulation.
Developmental stability is the ability of an organism to buffer given traits against environmental and intrinsic perturbations.
This may involve physiological, temporal or behavioral adjustments to the developmental program.
The processes leading to developmental stability have been particularly well studied in arthropods.
For instance, if uncoordinated growth is induced in the larval imaginal discs (the precursors of adult appendages) of Drosophila flies, a transient delay in the onset of metam…
