Thermal and Oxygen Flight Sensitivity in Ageing <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Flies: Links to Rapamycin-Induced Cell Size Changes

Thermal and Oxygen Flight Sensitivity in Ageing <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Flies: Links to Rapamycin-Induced Cell Size Changes

Ectotherms can become physiologically challenged when performing oxygen-demanding activities (e.g., flight) across differing environmental conditions, specifically temperature and oxygen levels. Achieving a balance between oxygen supply and demand can also depend on the cellular composition of organ...
