JMU scientists studied insulin-producing cells in fruit flies, finding that secretion is influenced by gut hormones, ...

Scientists have for the first time demonstrated play-like behavior in flies. They found that fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster) voluntarily and repeatedly visited a carousel.

These gaps are presently being filled through further efforts by the individual Drosophila genome projects. Figure 1: Mosaic fly with one vestigial wing found by Calvin Bridges on 6 August 1923 ...

Male fruit flies don’t just sing to their mates; they also use sound-cancelling wing-flicks to jockey with rivals. This new ...

How fruit flies mate may hold a key to limiting the spread of diseases by mosquitoes. The ability to tolerate toxic substances can help animals find new food sources and thrive in certain ...

Technology development of multi-omics: We have developed the first single-cell RNA sequencing platform in Drosophila neurons and glia for studying neural development (Li et al., 2017 Cell; Li et al ...
