Summary: Applying mechanical forces to tissues helps to understand morphogenesis and homeostasis. Additionally, recording the dynamics of living tissues under mechanical constraints is needed to explore tissue biomechanics. Here, we present a protoco

Left-right asymmetries recurrently evolve in animals but the underlying developmental mechanisms are unknown. In mostDrosophilaspecies, the male genitalia is symmetric and undergoes a clockwise 360° rotation during development. InD. melanogaster, th

Introduction Male genitalia are thought to ensure transfer of sperm through direct physical contact with female during copulation. However, little attention has been given to their pre-copulatory role with respect to sexual selection and sexual confl
