A High-Throughput Method for Quantifying <i>Drosophila</i> Fecundity

The fruit fly, <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i>, is an experimentally tractable model system that has recently emerged as a powerful “new approach methodology” (NAM) for chemical safety testing. As oogenesis is well conserved at the molecular and cellular level, measurements of <i>Dr...
