The world’s “most dangerous animal” just got easier to study 🦟
HHMI’s @leslievosshall.bsky.social & #VosshallLab at @rockefeller.edu have built the 1st cellular atlas of Aedes aegypti, mapping everything from legs to antennae. Available now to all researchers, & the public: bit.ly/4oO4MzB
@annaryba.bsky.social's paper on the neural underpinnings of intraspecific behavioral variation is now out in @currentbiology.bsky.social
Highly recommend! -> Paper identifies neural substrate for variation in promiscuity among Drosophila melanogaster strains🧪

The first detailed look at how mosquitoes mate from the Vosshall lab reversed the assumption that male mosquitoes control the process, finding that a subtle female behavior dictates if mating will take place or not. #RockefellerScience #YearInReview

Great to see that our mosquito cell atlas is now out in Cell. Amazing work from @oliviagoldman.net and @nadavshai.bsky.social to organise so much data and so many interesting stories into a single paper!
Congratulations @oliviagoldman.net, @leslievosshall.bsky.social, and all our amazing collaborators in the #VosshallLab and globally.
