Toronto, Ontario (CTV Network) — Scientists have discovered a way to induce virgin births in female fruit flies that usually reproduces sexually — and the ability can be passed down generations, ...

How fruit flies mate may hold a key to limiting the spread of diseases by mosquitoes. In a new study, University of Iowa researchers found a gene that orchestrates the antenna movements of female ...

Fresh fruit and produce are plentiful in the summer, but that means household pests often are, too. Perhaps the most bothersome are fruit flies, which are particularly active in warm, summer and fall ...

Researchers have found and confirmed a gene that allows female fruit flies to get on the same frequency as courting males. Mosquitoes have the same gene and a similar courtship ritual, meaning that ...

New research uses pioneering tools to show how aggressive female fruit flies' vision is regulated to focus on what's important. In most research labs, the scientists are on the same page about why ...

Recent work published by Prof. Marianna Wolfner ’74, molecular biology and genetics, and collaborators found that the survival and success of fruit fly sperm after mating depends on proteins in the ...

In the recently published article, “The Life History Of Drosophila Sperm Involves Molecular Continuity Between Male And Female Reproductive Tracts,” and further correspondence with loud experts, the ...

Life as a fruit fly seems pretty simple: Hatch, grow, eat some fruit, find a mate, produce hundreds of tiny offspring and die -- all in a month or so. But that part about finding a mate -- or mates -- ...

Researchers at the University of Iowa have found the gene that orchestrates the fine tuning of antennae in fruit flies so they're on the same frequency for mating. In this video, a male fruit fly ...
