In their study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the group used a fruit fly's natural response to moving stimuli and odorants to effectively direct its movements.

Morgan's experiments are not only fundamental to our knowledge of heredity; they have also made an animal respectable for science, which previously only a few specialists had worked with: the fruit, ...

On a soft piece of fermenting orange, a male fruit fly takes a sip of methanol-rich juice. Moments later, his body pulses with a heady bouquet of pheromones. Within minutes, he’s won the ...
