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 ...

Study of the susceptibility of Sechium edule do fruit flies (Diptera:Tephritidae) in laboratory conditions [PDF]
, 2010 Background. #Sechium edule# (chayote) is a cucurbit largely cultivated under arbour in Reunion Island but its production strongly declined in recent years. Farmers attributed the yield losses to fruit flies (Tephritidae, Dacini) (#Bactrocera cucurbitae#,

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Butterfly wing scales are intricate cuticular functional nanosctructures. This perspective suggests that spatially varying material properties, cytoskeletal constraints, and growth‐driven mechanical instabilities shape the resulting nanoscale architectures created from single cells.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Parallel wiring of bioelectrochemical devices with conventional generators unexpectedly boosts output. A biophotovoltaic paired with a solar cell delivers up to 50% more power at low loads than their separate contributions; a plant microbial fuel cell shows similar current gains.

Performance of augmentorium as a sanitation technique against fruit flies (Diptera: tephritidae) in Reunion Island [PDF]
, 2010 Background. Tephritid fruit flies cause severe damage to fruit and vegetable crops in Reunion Island. Instead of the curative approach to reduce existing populations, the first step proposed for their management is sanitation.
