DOI: 10.1002/ps.6485
Abstract: Infestation of fruits by native and invasive fruit flies causes significant economic losses. In most cases, incidence of "regulated" dangerous fruit flies in orchards results in restrictions on export of fruits from such places to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-00191-6
Abstract: 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 and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-02371-2
Abstract: We studied two species of closely related South American fruit flies, Anastrepha fraterculus and Anastrepha obliqua which, despite being able to interbreed, still show some ecological and reproductive differences. Because part of these differences, such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2018.0767
Abstract: Fruit flies must compensate for the limited light gathered by the tiny facets of their eyes, and image motion during flight lowers light catch even further. Motion blur is especially problematic in fast regions of… read more here.
