Fruit Flies Can Teach Us How We Forget
Have you ever wondered, “why do we forget?” Can you imagine a life where you could remember everything? Although this sounds interesting, it might not be a good idea after all. Scientists have started to learn that forgetting is very important for the normal functioning of the brain. If you cannot erase memories that you do not need, you could have problems learning new things or focusing your ...
متن کاملEvolution: How Fruit Flies Adapt to Seasonal Stresses
Fruit flies inhabit a wide range of latitudes, requiring adaptation to the varying local climates. A recent study reports evidence that the ability of North American flies to endure the winter involves adaptive polymorphism of the couch potato gene.
متن کاملPitch perfect: how fruit flies control their body pitch angle.
Flapping insect flight is a complex and beautiful phenomenon that relies on fast, active control mechanisms to counter aerodynamic instability. To directly investigate how freely flying Drosophila melanogaster control their body pitch angle against such instability, we perturbed them using impulsive mechanical torques and filmed their corrective maneuvers with high-speed video. Combining experi...
متن کاملFruit flies step out
A method that can analyse the movements of Drosophila as they walk is a valuable addition to the tools available to neurobiologists, and has already led to insights into the interplay of central networks and sensory feedback in this model organism.
متن کاملIdentifying Insects with Incomplete DNA Barcode Libraries, African Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) as a Test Case
We propose a general working strategy to deal with incomplete reference libraries in the DNA barcoding identification of species. Considering that (1) queries with a large genetic distance with their best DNA barcode match are more likely to be misidentified and (2) imposing a distance threshold profitably reduces identification errors, we modelled relationships between identification performan...
