Walking behavior in a circular arena modified by pulsed light stimulation in Drosophila melanogaster w1118 line [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 The Drosophila melanogaster white-eyed w1118 line serves as a blank control, allowing genetic recombination of any gene of interest along with a readily recognizable marker. w1118 flies display behavioral susceptibility to environmental stimulation such as light.

eLife, 2019 A combination of genetic, anatomical and physiological techniques has revealed that the lateral horn, a region of the brain involved in olfaction in flies, has many more types of neurons than expected.

Mechanisms of De‐icing by Surface Rayleigh and Plate Lamb Acoustic Waves
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ice accretion impacts daily life, renewable energy generation, maintenance, and security in industries and aeronautics. Acoustic waves (AW) are a promising method for ice removal, although de‐icing mechanisms require further investigation to optimize energy efficiency.

Pitch Perfect: How Fruit Flies Control their Body Pitch Angle [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Flapping insect flight is a complex and beautiful phenomenon that relies on fast, active control mechanisms to counter aerodynamic instability. To directly investigate how freely-flying D. melanogaster control their body pitch angle against such instability, we perturb them using impulsive mechanical torques and film their corrective maneuvers with ...

Flies Sleep on It, or Fuhgeddaboudit! [PDF]
Cell, 2015 Many studies in diverse organisms, including humans, have demonstrated a fundamental role for sleep in the formation of memories. A new study by Berry et al. indicates that, in fruit flies, sleep accomplishes this in part by preventing an active process of forgetting.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Using novel probe‐based metrics, this study evaluates lattice structures on criteria critical to cellular solid optimization. Triply‐periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices outperform other lattices, offering more predictable mechanical behavior in complex design spaces and, as a result, higher performance in optimized models.

Brazilian Journal of BiologyIn the present contribution we compared the entomological succession pattern of a burned carcass with that of an unburned one. For that, we used domestic pig carcasses and focused on Calliphoridae, Muscidae and Sarcophagidae flies, because they are the ...

Ovipositional substrates used by Calyptrate Diptera in Tijuca forest, Rio de Janeiro
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1994 Twenty seven species of calyptrate muscoids were reared from a forested area of Rio de Janeiro (Tijuca Forest). Substrates for obtaining flies were beef liver, fish, mouse, frog, shrimp, snail carcasses, human faeces, banana and papaya fruits.

Team organization may help swarms of flies to become invisible in closed waveguides [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We are interested in a time harmonic acoustic problem in a waveguide containing flies. The flies are modelled by small sound soft obstacles. We explain how they should arrange to become invisible to an observer sending waves from $-\infty$ and measuring the resulting scattered field at the same position.
