History of the “Dark-fly” Project

Abstract

We summarize the history of the "Dark-fl y" project here. We describe the method of maintenance and results of experiments performed by Shuiti Mori, who initially started this project about 60 years ago. We also conducted statistical re-examination of some data. As a result, we concluded that differences between the "Dark-fl y" and a control fl y were apparent in response to light, olfactory sense, and length of sensory hairs. Finally, we discuss future prospects of this project.
