Researchers trained an AI model to accurately predict male fruit flies' courtship behavior in response to any sight of a female. This breakthrough offers new insight into how the brain processes ...

As a Ph.D. student, I wanted to understand the evolution of individual differences in fruit fly behavior – the building blocks of personality. My experiments involved measuring how my tiny subjects ...

The study provides a comprehensive behavioral dataset of Drosophila melanogaster, categorized by genetic background, sex, and social context (isolated or in groups). Beyond enabling detailed analyses ...

Why do flies buzz around in circles when the air is still? And why does it matter? In a paper published online July 26, 2024 by the scientific journal Current Biology, University of Nevada, Reno ...

Scientists have succeeded in pinpointing the neurons within a female fruit fly's brain that respond to signals from the male during mating. Scientists have succeeded in pinpointing the neurons within ...

A scientific team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) unveiled the first complete map of the neural connections of the common fruit fly brain. The map provides a wiring diagram, known ...

Fungi and insects have been co-evolving for millions of years, and there are a variety of different fungi and insect relationships, some of which are beneficial. But fungi are also the most common ...

Years of research in the field of genetics have offered interesting insights spanning the origins and development of heredity and traits, offering valuable information on its influence on every aspect ...

Assistant Professor Floris van Breugel and postdoctoral researcher David Stupski have uncovered an automatic behavior in flies, sink and circle, which involves lowering altitude and repetitive, rapid ...
