Biological control of fruit flies in Brazil
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2019 : Fruit flies are the main pests of fruit growing in Brazil. They have been managed predominantly with the use of insecticides applied as cover spray and or/as toxic baits.

Detection of Volatile Constituents from Food Lures by Tephritid Fruit Flies
Insects, 2018 Tephritid fruit flies require protein for sexual and gonotrophic development. Food-based lures are therefore widely used in strategies to detect and control fruit flies in the Tephritidae family.

Mutations of mitochondrial DNA are not major contributors to aging of fruit flies
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Mutations of mtDNA accumulate in aging humans and other mammals to cause mitochondrial dysfunction in a subset of cells in various tissues. Furthermore, experimental induction of mtDNA mutations causes a premature aging syndrome in the mouse.

Anti-instinctive Learning Behavior Revealed by Locomotion-Triggered Mild Heat Stress in Drosophila
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2020 Anti-instinctive learning, an ability to modify an animal's innate behaviors in ways that go against one's innate tendency, can confer great evolutionary advantages to animals and enable them to better adapt to the changing environment.

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.

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Coupled symmetric and asymmetric circuits underlying spatial orientation in fruit flies
Nature Communications, 2017 Maintaining spatial orientation when carrying out goal-directed movements requires an animal to perform angular path integration. Such functionality has been recently demonstrated in the ellipsoid body (EB) of fruit flies, though the precise circuitry ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Odor source localization in complex visual environments by fruit flies
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2017 Flying insects routinely forage in complex and cluttered sensory environments. Their search for a food or a pheromone source typically begins with a whiff of odor, which triggers a flight response, eventually bringing the insect near the odor source ...
