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

A study reveals how the Wingless signalling pathway shapes the embryonic intestine of the Drosophila fly, activating a mechanism involved in calcium transport. The finding redefines the role of ...

Fruit fly mutants that have severe sleep deficits perform better at olfactory learning and memory tasks, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Sheng Huang and ...

During embryonic development, the intestine of the Drosophila fly divides into distinct chambers thanks to the formation of ...

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

A newly identified parasitic wasp, compared to an “alien” predator, was found entirely by chance. Its ability to infect adult ...

03 April 2025, 4:00 pm–5:00 pm The fruit fly Drosophila is an incredibly useful model organism for studying neurodegenerative disease due to its short lifespan and wide array of genetic tools. Our ...

The authors' demonstration that impaired olfactory perception reduces caterpillar performance and increases susceptibility to parasitism is solid. These findings highlight the ecological significance ...

The brains of animals are the most complex structures on Earth. The human brain contains about eighty six billion nerve cells, or neurons, and an estimated two trillion synaptic connections, where ...

Research on the insectome in and around broiler breeder pullet farms has identified new potential vectors of Histomonas ...

Founded in the UK in 2003, for the last 10 years Fly has been operating in the mobile phone markets of Russia, Ukraine, India, Southern Europe and the CIS. The company that started out with feature ...
