Bisphenol S (BPS), a common substitute for bisphenol A (BPA) in "BPA-free" products, is a potential developmental neurotoxicant. To investigate the developmental consequences of BPS exposure, we used Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism. Following exposure to BPS, we assessed three distinct behaviors: adult courtship, adult grooming, and larval locomotion. BPS exposure resulted in attenuated courtship activity, impaired grooming behavior, and some instances of altered larval locomotion. These findings support the hypothesis that developmental exposure to BPS, similar to BPA and structurally related analogs, can disrupt behavioral outcomes.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 November 2025.
All research outputs
#24,456,874
of 29,749,903 outputs
Outputs from microPublication Biology
#465
of 897 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#209,856
of 295,180 outputs
Outputs of similar age from microPublication Biology
#15
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 29,749,903 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 897 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.8. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 295,180 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 46th percentile – i.e., 46% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
