The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental ...
Scientists have built a working simulation of an entire adult fruit fly brain and connected it to a physics-based virtual body, producing what amounts to a digital insect that can process sensory ...
In a fruit fly, nerve cells that detect limb movement are silenced when the insect walks or grooms. This on-off switch may help the nervous system to shift between two states: one helps keep the body ...
Insect miniaturisation represents a remarkable evolutionary strategy whereby species evolve significantly reduced body sizes while maintaining—and often innovating—complex anatomical and functional ...

Navigating an environment is a key skill for many organisms. For years, scientists have wondered how the brain pieces together environmental inputs, compares them to an animal’s desired destination, ...
Ant societies are built on scent. Pheromones guide the insects to food, warn them of predators, and regulate the rhythms of their colonies. This chemical communication system is governed by a simple ...
The rate of development of poikilothermic animals, such as insects, fish, and reptiles, is determined by environmental temperature. A research team at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) has ...
