Automated measurement of
Drosophila wings
Drosophila is a genus of small flies, commonly called fruit flies. These flies are widely used in scientific research, particularly in genetics and evolutionary biology, because they are easy to care for, reproduce rapidly, and have a short generation time.
Measuring the wings of Drosophila is important in scientific research. Wing size and shape can vary among different Drosophila species and strains, and these differences can be used to study the genetic basis of wing development, evolution and other studies.
