Calculating injury risk for fruit flies by counting wounds in the wild

A small team of biologists from Freie Universität Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, both in Germany, has calculated the degree of risk faced by wild fruit flies by capturing more than 10,000 of them and studying their bodies to see if they had any physical injuries. A small team of biologists from Freie Universität Berlin and the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, both in Germany, has calculated the degree of risk faced by wild fruit flies by capturing more than 10,000 of them and studying their bodies to see if they had any physical injuries. Plants & Animals Cell & Microbiology Phys.org – latest science and technology news stories
