Microbial species living in a fruit fly gut interact with one another—and influence the insect’s health and longevity in the process.

The Stanford University professor was known for his work on sex determination and courtship in flies.

Researchers show that Drosophila melanogaster males are capable of producing more modes of courtship song with their wings than previously thought.

In Drosophila, the tissue is more permeable to drugs at night, offering a possible explanation for why some medicines work better at certain times of day.

The DIY devices collect data and enable light stimulation, chamber agitation, and gas infusion.

The instrument presents a new option for researchers working on large-scale fly behavior studies.

A fruit fly ovary can contain up to 20 eggs at a time. 

E. coli that make indoles protect older worms, flies, and mice from frailty. 

Using machine learning, researchers have created extensive maps of the neuronal circuits associated with social and locomotion behaviors in the fruit fly.
