The Scaling of Carbon Dioxide Release and Respiratory Water Loss in Flying Fruit Flies (Drosophila Spp.) [PDF]
, 2000 By simultaneously measuring carbon dioxide release, water loss and flight force in several species of fruit flies in the genus Drosophila, we have investigated respiration and respiratory transpiration during elevated locomotor activity.

Automated Surveillance of Fruit Flies [PDF]
Sensors, 2017 Insects of the Diptera order of the Tephritidae family cause costly, annual crop losses worldwide. Monitoring traps are important components of integrated pest management programs used against fruit flies. Here we report the modification of typical, low-cost plastic traps for fruit flies by adding the necessary optoelectronic sensors to monitor the ...

Fruit Flies in Biomedical Research [PDF]
Genetics, 2015 AbstractMany scientists complain that the current funding situation is dire. Indeed, there has been an overall decline in support in funding for research from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Within the Drosophila field, some of us question how long this funding crunch will last as it demotivates principal ...

Auditory system of fruit flies [PDF]
Hearing Research, 2016 The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, is an invaluable model for auditory research. Advantages of using the fruit fly include its stereotyped behavior in response to a particular sound, and the availability of molecular-genetic tools to manipulate gene expression and cellular activity.

Fruit flies and intellectual disability [PDF]
Fly, 2009 Mental retardation--known more commonly nowadays as intellectual disability--is a severe neurological condition affecting up to 3% of the general population. As a result of the analysis of familial cases and recent advances in clinical genetic testing, great strides have been made in our understanding of the genetic etiologies of mental retardation ...

Annotated checklist and illustrated key to braconid parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) of economically important fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) in Brazil [PDF]
, 2018 The braconid parasitoids of fruit-infesting flies have been more intensively studied from the middle to late 1990s, when taxonomic research was restarted in Brazil.

Fruit flies are multistable geniuses
PLOS Biology, 2018 Our sensory systems have evolved to provide us with information about the external world. Such information is useful only insofar as it leads to actions that enhance fitness, and thus, the link between sensation and action has been thoroughly studied in many species. In insects, for example, specific visual stimuli lead to highly stereotyped responses.

A New Chamber for Studying the Behavior of Drosophila [PDF]
, 2010 Methods available for quickly and objectively quantifying the behavioral phenotypes of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, lag behind in sophistication the tools developed for manipulating their genotypes.

Theta motion processing in fruit flies [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2010 The tiny brains of insects presumably impose significant computational limitations on algorithms controlling their behavior. Nevertheless, they perform fast and sophisticated visual maneuvers. This includes tracking features composed of second-order motion, in which the feature is defined by higher-order image statistics, but not simple correlations in

Identifikasi Lalat Buah yang Menyerang Buah Naga (Hylocereus SP.) di Kecamatan Batu Ampar, Kabupaten Tanah Laut Kalimantan Selatan [PDF]
, 2006 Identification of fruit flies of dragon fruit in Tanah Laut has never been conducted. This research was aimed to identify fruit flies species of dragon fruit and its natural enemies in Batu Ampar, Tanah Laut, Kalimantan Selatan. The fruit flies attacking
