Vimar/RAP1GDS1 promotes acceleration of brain aging after flies and mice reach middle age
Brain aging may accelerate after rodents reach middle age. However, the endogenous mediator that promotes this acceleration is unknown. We predict...

Biological Control of Fruit Flies with Emphasis on Microbial Control
The damage caused by fruit flies can occur directly through egg laying and larval development, which opens the door to secondary pathogens in the...
-
Acoustic Communication in Fruit Flies and Mosquitoes
Acoustic communication between conspecific males and females, mediated by wing movements, forms a key part of premating behavior in both fruit flies...

The Movement of Pathogen Carrying Flies at the Human–Wildlife Interface
Flies form high-density associations with human settlements and groups of nonhuman primates and are implicated in transmitting pathogens. We...

Zebras of all stripes repel biting flies at close range
The best-supported hypothesis for why zebras have stripes is that stripes repel biting flies. While this effect is well-established, the mechanism ...

Differences in rectal amino acid levels determine bacteria-originated sex pheromone specificity in two closely related flies
Sex pheromones are widely used by insects as a reproductive isolating mechanism to attract conspecifics and repel heterospecifics. Although...
