Natural history of social and sexual behavior in fruit flies
Scientific Reports, 2020 The past 2 decades have seen fruit flies being widely adopted for research on social behavior and aggression. This fruitful research, however, has not been well tied to fruit flies’ natural history.

Roll Control in Fruit Flies [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Due to aerodynamic instabilities, stabilizing flapping flight requires ever-present fast corrective actions. Here we investigate how flies control body roll angle, their most susceptible degree of freedom. We glue a magnet to each fly, apply a short magnetic pulse that rolls it in mid-air, and film the corrective maneuver.

Fishing for flies: testing the efficacy of “stink stations” for promoting blow flies as pollinators in mango orchards [PDF]
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023 Pollinator communities are composed of diverse groups of insects, with radically different life histories and resource needs. Blow flies are known to visit a variety of economically important crop plants.

Lethal, Sublethal, and Offspring Effects of Fluralaner and Dinotefuran on Three Species of Bactrocera Fruit Flies [PDF]
InsectsFruit flies cause substantial economic damage, and their management relies primarily on chemical insecticides. However, pesticide resistance has been reported in several fruit fly species, the mitigation of which is crucial to enhancing fruit fly control.

Controlling roll perturbations in fruit flies [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2015 Owing to aerodynamic instabilities, stable flapping flight requires ever-present fast corrective actions. Here, we investigate how flies control perturbations along their body roll angle, which is unstable and their most sensitive degree of freedom.

Fluorescent silica nanoparticles as an internal marker in fruit flies and their effects on survivorship and fertility [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Tracking and differentiating small insects at the individual levels requires appropriate marking materials because of their small size. This study proposes and investigates the use of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) as an internal marker owing ...

Host Suitability Index for Polyphagous Tephritid Fruit Flies
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2021 Tephritid fruit flies are major economic pests for fruit production and are an impediment to international trade. Different host fruits are known to vary in their suitability for fruit flies to complete their life cycle.
