And so, I wanted to see whether we could draw this instinct from the fruit fly that enables them to escape so effectively, to make drones good at responding to their environments.

所以, 我想看看我们是否能从果蝇身上发掘这种本能，使它们能够有效地逃脱，使无人机能够很好地应对环境。

在厨房里常见到小果蝇是很平常的事。

Fruit flies were picked by Thomas Morgan, an early geneticist, because they are easy to breed in large numbers-and it helped that some of their cells have giant chromosomes which showed up well under the microscopes of the day.

果蝇是由早期的遗传家托马斯·摩根挑选的，因为它们很容易大量繁殖，而且它们的一些细胞有巨大的染色体，在显微镜下很容易看到。

In the same way, artificial sweeteners can leave our brains wanting more which studies have shown leads to increased appetite and potential weight gain in fruit flies, mice, and humans.

同样的道理，甜味剂会让我们的大脑想吃更多的东西。研究发现果蝇、小鼠和人类食用甜味剂之后胃口会变好，增重的风险也增加了。

There are a host of genes involved in this process and scientists are still figuring out precisely how stripes are formed, not only in zebras, but also in other animals, like fruit flies and fishes.

在这个过程中有很多基因参与，科家们还在研究条纹是如何形成的，不仅在斑马身上，在果蝇和鱼类等其他动物身上也是如此。

Why can't they get one of those bugs, you know, one of those fruit flies, those things that live for like a day or something? What're they called, what're they called, what're they called?

他们干嘛不养只昆虫，养只果蝇就好了。那种只活一，两天的东西，它们叫什么？

Passion fruit can be recommended as a pest trap crop to plant at the border of an orchard or melon field to control fruit flies, said Liao Yonglin at Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, one of the researchers.

研究人员之一、广东省农业科院的廖永林表示，百香果可以推荐作为陷阱作物，种植在果园或瓜田的边缘，以防治果蝇。

Estimating the PMI in this case relied on analyzing the life cycle of flies through development from egg to adult can be predicted based on environmental conditions.

在这种情况下，估计 PMI 依赖于分析果蝇从卵到成虫的生命周期，可以根据环境条件进行预测。

They even went for species that were three times larger than themselves, a relationship that even an untrained human eye can see is out of balance.

它们甚至能找比他们大三倍的昆虫交配。即使没有训练过的人也能看出感应部位与果蝇选择配偶之间的关系。

That the target gene is found in both fruit flies and Aedes suggests it is likely to exist in other disease-carrying mosquitoes, too.

在果蝇和伊蚊中都发现了目标基因，这表明它可能也存在于其他携带疾病的蚊子中。

" To really show that the gene associated with thinness in humans makes also flies and mice skinny. And that's exactly what we found."

“以证明与人类苗条有关的基因也能让果蝇和老鼠变瘦。这的确是我们所发现的现象。”

Six days into the experiment all the Truvia-fed flies were dead, while those stuck with Sweet-n-low, Splenda or Equal lived five to seven weeks.

经过6天的实验，Truvia 甜味剂造成果蝇全部死亡，而Sweet-n-low, Splenda 及Equal等甜味剂可以使得果蝇存活5-7周。

But they noted the process will not work on some kinds of insects that have more complex reproductive systems, such as fruit flies.

但他们指出，这一过程不适用于某些生殖系统更复杂的昆虫，比如果蝇。

He and his team raised genetically engineered flies with taste neurons that can be turned on and off with red and green light.

他和团队饲养转基因果蝇，使其神经元可以在红绿光下开关。
