Nice paper. It is a proof of concept experiment using Drosophila sibling species to show that MALDI-MS can be used to distinguish small animals, not just the bacteria for which the method was developed originally. The authors were unaware of any similar prior work. In fact I published a similar though less detailed proof of concept experiment with Drosophila in 2005. Another paper using aphids appeared at almost exactly the same time.

Just for the record ;)

None. I'm not working on this any more.
