... modulate food consumption in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster . We found that the presence of both single food-derived odorants and complex odor mixtures enhanced consumption of an appetitive food. Feeding enhancement depended on the concentration and the chemical identity of the odorant. Volatile...

... Fruit fly Saccade Smooth movement Animals on the move must rapidly integrate and evaluate sensory information to generate appropriate motor actions. For instance, flies must distinguish between potential threats, a landing site or a food source while locomoting through spatiotemporally complex...

... affect performance. Although it is known that brief anoxia exposure may confer cross-tolerance to other stressors, few data exist on the biochemical and organismal consequences of repeated intermittent bouts of anoxia exposure. In nature, the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Diptera: Tephritidae...

.... Flight control Flight thrust Fruit fly Insect Optic flow System identification Insects in flight can be portrayed as a black-box multisensory control system: continuous information, such as vision, air flow and scent, is gathered from the sensory organs, then combined and processed...

Here, we examined how the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster , a species in which individuals eat and lay eggs in decaying fruits, integrate feeding decisions (individual...

...Vladimír Koštál; Jaroslava Korbelová; Rodolphe Poupardin; Martin Moos; Petr Šimek ABSTRACT The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is an insect of tropical origin. Its larval stage is evolutionarily adapted for rapid growth and development under warm conditions and shows high sensitivity to cold...

... behaviour of the fruit fly Drosophila . We reared flies in chambers in which the animals could freely walk and extend their wings, but could not gain any flight experience. These naive animals were compared with control flies under both open- and closed-loop tethered flight conditions in a flight simulator...

.... At this rate, we capture about 30–35 wing orientations per wing stroke of the fruit fly( Drosophila melanogaster ), which beats its wings approximately 250 times per second. The cameras are event triggered, as described below, and are synchronized electronically. In our experiments, the cameras automatically...

The initial acceleration of the induced flow is responsible for this effect, because under the given experimental conditions induced flow may attenuate the wing's effective angle of attack by more...
