To solve this evolutionary puzzle, researchers at Syracuse University's Center for Reproductive Evolution (CRE) have spent decades studying the mating biology of fruit flies. These small and ...

But a study published today (March 17) in Science finds that evolution may in fact happen fast enough to enable adaptation to seasonal changes that happen each year—at least in fruit flies (Drosophila ...

A University of Exeter study reveals that certain fruit fly species show varying susceptibilities to diverse viruses. The research highlights correlations in virus resistance, offering insights into ...

In an evolutionary battle of the sexes, scientists have found that male flies sharpen their eyesight to avoid being tricked ...

Their mathematical model forecasts the ideal body plan of a fruit fly's early embryo, suggesting that evolution might have had many optimal options at its disposal. It is hypothesized that ...

A study of fruit flies shows some species are highly susceptible to a wide range of viruses. The paper, published in the journal Evolution Letters, is titled "Positive correlations in susceptibility ...

A team of researchers has answers. Their mathematical model forecasts the ideal body plan of a fruit fly's early embryo, suggesting that evolution might had many optimal options at its disposal.

Only three molecular changes are needed for fruit flies to digest milkweed toxins Gene-edited fruit flies have gained some of monarch butterflies’ superpowers — specifically, the ability to ...

A study on fruit flies, led by University of Oxford researchers ... The work is published in the journal Evolution Letters. It is widely recognized that as males age, their fertility typically ...
