Female-biased upregulation of insulin pathway activity mediates the sex difference in Drosophila body size plasticity
Nutrient-dependent body size plasticity differs between the sexes in most species, including mammals. Previous work in Drosophila showed that body size plasticity was higher in females, yet the mechanisms underlying increased female body size plasticity remain unclear. Here, we discover that a prote...
