Love Calls of a Fruit Fly by DR. H. C. BENNET-CLARK and DR. A. W. EWING of the Department of Zoology, University of Edinburgh
For any animal it is very important to be sure that it is mating with the same species. To us most species of fruit flies look pretty much the same, so how can fruit flies tell? It seems that they can recognise quite subtle differences in each other's love calls.

Duncan Carse
Between 1951 and 1957 he organised and led to the sub-Antarctic a series of small expeditions known as the South Georgia Surveys
It was a time when the whalers were still whaling, the sealers still working the beaches from small boats under oars. the time when a man could go out with a blank sheet of paper and come back with a map. In between whales. broadcasts, and lectures. Carse did his best to live down Dick Barton. In those years it was still possible for the private explorer, given funds and luck, to stick his neck out and do the complete job.'
