Decently critical write-up, some great reporting.
Stepping back: power required by an actual #FruitFly vs. the researchers' implementation. When we can equalize that ratio we'll have done something genuinely remarkable. Until then, below established standards.

I know that authorities blame beekeepers who post #QueenBees through the mail, or moving infected hives when told not to - but - I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the spread of the mite is agricultural #sabotage from outside Australia.
There are countries who would love to see our crops fail & either step in to replace our produce on the international markets or sell theirs to us.

Apparently it’s #FlyDay or #DrosophilaDay in honour of the day Drosophila melanogaster, the common fruit fly or vinegar fly line w1118 (the first variant with the white eyes) was isolated, so enjoy some drosophila #sciart! This print highlights the model organism with a ring of 5 of the different eye colour genetic mutations.
A species of fly (the taxonomic order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae, D. melanogaster is used as a model organism 🧵1/2

Using a simple model – #FruitFly eggs – biologist @theajacobs.bsky.social is investigating how cells build connections, and thus form tissues that only allow certain substances or cells to pass through. Here, she provides insight into her day-to-day research. @sfb1348.bsky.social uni.ms/d3ry0

A friend of a friend in Cromwell has hosted an MPI fruit fly trap for 16 years without catching anything. Recently the trap captured its first fruit fly (a male), but we've yet to see an announcement from MPI.
Strange that.
Even worse, the MPI person who collected the trap said they've lost funding & will no longer be maintaining the traps, starting later this year.
What a dumb move. The Luxon government seems determined to save money in all the wrong places.

How do #NeuralNetworks generate diverse and variable outputs? This study of the larval #fruitfly locomotor system shows that relatively simple sets of #inhibitory circuit motifs can generate a surprising degree of diversity & variability in motor programs @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/3GpT3pR

So a few weeks ago, a relative of mine was looking for a new home for his old ZEISS research microscope.
And while I'm not a biologist - I'm a pretty big optics and photography nerd so I obviously couldn't decline the offer.Let me take you onto a little journey to the #microcosmos 🧵

Biosecurity New Zealand is on the case after a fruit fly was discovered in Birkdale, on Auckland's North Shore. They say they've trapped a single male Oriental fruit fly.
How did they know he was single?

Sensing food is a complex multisensory experience. A study of food hardness preference in #FruitFly larvae by @Simon_Sprecher &co reveals that gustatory organ sensory neurons can perceive cues of both chemical & mechanical stimulation #plosbiology https://plos.io/3CEv5FJ

@ScienceDesk I think mapping the #FruitFly brain’s connectome (nearly 140,000 neurons and the more than 50 million synapses connecting them) was the biggest #science advance in 2024 - so far. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/complete-wiring-map-adult-fruit-fly-brain
Hopefully, it will provide a basis for at least a glimpse into actual #intelligence of the ‘mind’.
In other current #technology news, #AI is proving itself extremely artificial!

A team of researchers, including Katharina Eichler from #UniLeipzig, has created the first reconstruction of the structure of a #fruitfly brain.They created a circuit diagram of the brain. For the first time, nine papers have been published in #Nature.

Hundreds of scientists and citizen scientists from around the world have mapped out more than 50 million connections in the tiny #fruitfly brain, a step toward one day producing an intricate map of the human brain that will aid in understanding and potentially treating numerous health conditions such as Parkinson’s, binge eating, depression and substance abuse.
The scientific milestone, the most detailed survey of an adult animal brain to date, helps to show the mechanisms involved as a fruit fly assembles, then acts on the impressions of the world that come through sight, smell and other senses.

#CapeElizabethMaine farms shut down #strawberry fields due to #FruitFly infestation
by Brad Rogers, WGME
Mon, July 1st 2024 at 8:16 PM
Updated Tue, July 2nd 2024 at 5:49 AM"This particular spotted wing fruit fly first came to Maine in 2011, but farms typically don't see them in large numbers until late August and early September.
"'Strawberries usually escape,' Handley said. 'We don't see it in high numbers until we're pretty much done with strawberries. It's the people who are growing fall #raspberries and late-ripening #blueberries that usually have the big issue with this one.'
"Handley is a vegetable and small fruit specialist.
"He believes the relatively #MildWinter, combined with an unusually hot June, led to the early rise of fruit flies in the greater Portland area."
