🦗🔬 University of #Sydney researchers found that house #crickets perform "flexible self-protection" by nursing specific injuries, suggesting they experience pain-like states rather than simple reflexes.
The directed behavior indicates a level of conscious experience previously underestimated in #invertebrates. The findings could challenge our approach toward #insects, supporting a growing scientific consensus on their complex cognitive capabilities.

So bannanas look bruised when they're ripe, and they ripen faster when there are fruit flies nearby.
So are bananas the punching bags of fruit flies? 🤔

About the #nuclear #porecomplex (#NPC) #protein #Nup107 regulating broader #neuroendocrine functions in #fly larval #brains. The authors J. Kawadkar et al. (2026) in experiments reduced the Nup107 protein that enables #moleculetransfer between nucleus and cellular cytoplasma in #fruitflies using suitable genetic tools. According to the authors, there is a wider context between the protein and larval #developmentalprocesses based on the #steroidhormone #ecdysone.

Dealing with #fruitflies makes me sympathetic to how the #theory of spontaneous generation held on for as long as it did. Where the hell did you little shits come from. Get out of my #fruit

Evolution in one sex is often affected by selection acting on the opposite sex. Geeta Arun et al. explore this using fruit flies and find that responses to selection are largely parallel between sexes.

Persistent viral #infections in #insects are not as harmless as once believed.
This study shows how such infections in #FruitFlies alter survival, reproduction, behavior & gene expression, revealing the hidden costs of #viral persistence

Wow, happy fediversary!
You made me go look when I joined - "must be almost two years now, right?" only to discover my 1000th day was recently, too!
Time flies! [1]
[1] "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana." is one of my favourite "how many levels does this joke have?" jokes.

Harvard Crimson: Harvard Funding Cuts Endanger the Massive Fruit Fly Database That Powers Genetic Research. “FlyBase lost a multimillion dollar grant when the Trump administration cut off Harvard’s federal funding in May. Now the repository is laying off staff — and researchers worldwide are worried.”

Kitchen science! We seem to be back into fruit-fly season. We usually get 'em under control with an apple-cider vinegar trap. Just a jar covered in plastic with a few holes.
But I thought I'd see if there are more effective liquids to attract them. So I've surrounded the counter-top compost w six choices. Updates pending.
1. Apple cider vinegar
2. Chinese dumpling vinegar
3. White wine
4. Japanese sweet Mirin
5. Balsamic vinegar
6. Maple syrup in white vinegar -
