Growing interest of the use of SIT against olive fruit fly (B. oleae) is currently under way in the Mediterranean region. Additionally, the recent introductions and spread of several Bactrocera ...

Researchers have developed an easy-to-use, publicly available analysis pipeline and inexpensive hardware to record and quantify aggression and courtship behaviors in fruit flies.

Taking on board aspects such as sensor saturation, this study should serve as a basis for further exploring the neural circuitry that controls fruit-fly motion. And it may provide insight into the ...

Morgan's experiments are not only fundamental to our knowledge of heredity; they have also made an animal respectable for science, which previously only a few specialists had worked with: the fruit, ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a new study. The paradox of enhanced memory despite sleep loss could be explained ...

Fruit flies with genetic mutations that severely reduce sleep show enhanced performance in olfactory memory tasks, ...

Once in a while, there will be something you overlook that can serve as an entry point for those pesky fruit flies. For example, wiping down counters may eliminate visible messes, but failing to ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a study published March 20th in ...
