Flies on the rise: acclimation effect on mitochondrial oxidation capacity at normal and high temperatures in <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> Open
Increased average temperatures and extreme thermal events (such as heatwaves) brought forth by climate change impose important constraints on aerobic metabolism. Notably, mitochondrial metabolism, which is affected by both long- and short-…

Investigating the thermal sensitivity of key enzymes involved in the energetic metabolism of three insect species Open
The metabolic responses of insects to high temperatures have been linked to their mitochondrial substrate oxidation capacity. However, the mechanism behind this mitochondrial flexibility is not well understood. Here, we used three insect s…

Age‐related flexibility of energetic metabolism in the honey bee <i>Apis mellifera</i> Open
The mechanisms that underpin aging are still elusive. In this study, we suggest that the ability of mitochondria to oxidize different substrates, which is known as metabolic flexibility, is involved in this process. To verify our hypothesi…

Overwintering in North American domesticated honeybees (<i>Apis mellifera</i>) causes mitochondrial reprogramming while enhancing cellular immunity Open
Many factors negatively affect domesticated honeybee (Apis mellifera) health, causing a global decrease in their population year after year with major losses occurring during winter, and the cause remains unknown. Here, we monitored for 12…
