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 ...

iMeta, Volume 1, Issue 4, December 2022., 2022 The diversity, composition, and network of gut microbiota differed between the sympatric and diet‐sharing Drosophila simulans and Dicranocephalus wallichii bowringi. Host species shape the bacterial and fungal community in two insect hosts by altering the relative contribution of community assembly processes.

Coping with Space Neophobia in Drosophila melanogaster: The Asymmetric Dynamics of Crossing a Doorway to the Untrodden [PDF]
, 2015 Insects exhibit remarkable cognitive skills in the field and several cognitive abilities have been demonstrated in Drosophila in the laboratory. By devising an ethologically relevant experimental setup that also allows comparison of behavior across remote taxonomic groups we sought to reduce the gap between the field and the laboratory, and reveal as ...

Limit-cycle-based control of the myogenic wingbeat rhythm in the fruit fly Drosophila [PDF]
J R Soc Interface 10(2013): 20121013, 2013 In many animals, rhythmic motor activity is governed by neural limit cycle oscillations under the control of sensory feedback. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the wingbeat rhythm is generated myogenically by stretch-activated muscles and hence independently from direct neural input.

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 ...

eLife, 2013 A method that can analyse the movements of Drosophila as they walk is a valuable addition to the tools available to neurobiologists, and has already led to insights into the interplay of central networks and sensory feedback in this model organism.

Frugivorous Flies on Bitter Gourd Fruit in Parigi Moutong Regency [PDF]
, 2023 In Indonesia, many people eat pariah as a vegetable. This plant can not only be consumed as a vegetable, but can also be used for medical purposes. Sample collection was carried out using purposive sampling technique.

Negative selection in humans and fruit flies involves synergistic epistasis
Science, 2016 Ongoing selection against rare protein-disrupting mutations depends on an individual’s relative decline in fitness with each additional mutation. Genetic interactions drive selection Most individuals carry at least some potentially deleterious variants ...

Of flies and men: insights on organismal metabolism from fruit flies [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2013 The fruit fly Drosophila has contributed significantly to our general understanding of the basic principles of signaling, cell and developmental biology, and neurobiology. However, answers to questions pertaining to energy metabolism have been so far mostly addressed in more complex model organisms such as mice. We review in this article recent studies

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#,
