Dietary Stimuli, Intestinal Bacteria and Peptide Hormones Regulate Female <i>Drosophila</i> Defecation Rate

Dietary Stimuli, Intestinal Bacteria and Peptide Hormones Regulate Female <i>Drosophila</i> Defecation Rate

Peptide hormones control <i>Drosophila</i> gut motility, but the intestinal stimuli and the gene networks coordinating this trait remain poorly defined. Here, we customized an assay to quantify female <i>Drosophila</i> defecation rate as a proxy of intestinal motility. We fou...
