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 ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team has recently demonstrated how temperature can affect ...

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 ...

The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental ...

Dr Robert Wessells at Wayne State University are researching exercise mediators and mimetics in fruit flies (Drosophila ...

Using two species of flies from different climates — one from the cool, high-altitude forests of Northern California, the other hailing from the hot, dry deserts of the Southwest — Northwestern ...

Researchers, led in part by University of Nevada, Reno’s Meet Zandawala, identify specific clock neurons that govern daily ...
