In a recent study, scientists at Leipzig University have for the first time demonstrated play-like behavior in flies. They found that fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) voluntarily and repeatedly ...

The fruit flies will be used to assess how space travel affects living organisms and what kind of biological changes and stresses they go through during the flight.

The play-like behaviour of the flies described by the researchers, involving voluntary passive movements such as swinging, bobbing, sliding or turning, has now been demonstrated in insects for the ...

The workshop, hosted by the Department of Zoology and Zoological Society, aimed to provide hands-on training in rearing Drosophila melanogaster, conducting genetic studies, and exploring its ...

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is well known as a fruit ... Comparative studies at the genetic level with 200 other fly species of the Drosophilidae family showed that COX is altered ...

Most people see fruit flies as a nuisance. A scientist at Washington State University Vancouver sees them as the key to understanding evolution.

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is well known as a fruit pest ... Comparative studies at the genetic level with 200 other fly species of the Drosophilidae family showed that COX is altered in ...

The researchers observed that the maggots consistently preferred the rotten fruit over the fresh one. This behavior suggested ...

Evolution might allow for multiple optimal solutions, depending on the constraints and conditions under which an organism evolves.

Behind many breakthroughs in science, there’s often a woman who didn’t follow the rules - she rewrote them. Whether it’s in a ...
