Houseflies pass through four distinct stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult. The life expectancy of a housefly is generally 15 to 30 days and depends upon temperature and living conditions. Flies dwelling in warm homes and laboratories develop faster and live longer than their counterparts in the...
a, Adult-onset rapamycin treatment (200 µM) extended the lifespan ofwDahfemales, but not males (log-rank test, femalesP = 2.1E-06, malesP = 0.77,n = 143–171 flies per condition). See also Supplementary Table1.b, Adult-onset rapamycin treatment at three concentration...
House flies live an average of ten to twenty days, and as long as a couple months, depending on their living conditions and food availability.Cooler temperatures and ample sugar and protein sources are key to a house fly’s survival. Thehouse flyis well known throughout the world and is a...
Dragonfly development takessignificantlylonger than their adult lives. Nymphs typically spend a year or more before emergence. However, some species of dragonflies (such as the golden-ringed dragonfly) can spend up to 5 years in their larval stage. That’s 10 times longer than the life expectan...
The physiological effects of Fa-Trp on multicellular organisms was investigated using the fruit fly D. melanogaster. First, we investigated whether Fa-Trp affects the longevity of D. adults. As a result, adult male D. melanogaster fed with Fa-Trp in standard food (SF) showed a significantly ...
by using an exome-matched holidic medium, we show that decreasing Met levels to 10% extendsDrosophilalifespan with or without decreasing total amino acid levels. MetR during the first four weeks of adult life only robustly extends lifespan. MetR in young flies induces the expression of many ...
tricuspis emerge with an estimated 12.3±2.3 and 7.2±1g of lipid reserves per fly, respectively. These teneral amounts represent the highest lipid levels detected in adult flies, irrespective of their diet, and are maintained over the life times of sucrose-fed female and male flies, but ...

The team now plan on continuing their work on Pol III to understand its function in an adult organism, and hence shed light on how a reduction in its activity can extendlifespan. More information:Danny Filer et al, RNA polymerase III limits longevity downstream of TORC1,Nature(2017)....
