Study on fruit flies’ ability to reliably perceive threats during courtship carried out by researchers from Birmingham and Berlin published in "Nature"
The results of an international study carried out by researchers from the University of Birmingham and Freie Universität Berlin show that male fruit flies are more likely to ignore dangers such as predators during courtship.
