Below we list links to sites with educational materials for using or teaching with Drosophila.

Information on working with Drosophila

• Experiments with Drosophila for Biology Courses - fly lab manual by S. C. Lakhotia and H. A. Ranganath
• Drosophila Workers Unite - fly lab manual from Michelle Markstein
• Introduction to Drosophila - fly lab webpage from Celeste Berg
• Carolina Biological's Drosophila Manual - fly lab manual
• Paper on virginator stocks - article on using "virginator" stocks to get large numbers of virgin females for lab classes from Dennis Venema
• GENETICS FlyBook - set of review articles on Drosophila research including some on techniques for, and history of, working with flies

Images of common Drosophila phenotypic markers

• Learning to Fly - nice poster of commonly used marker phenotypes
• Phenotype images from Kaufman lab - posters of wings, bristle, eye color and body color mutants from Stacy Holtzman and Thom Kaufman
• Phenotype images from Banco Moscas UNAM - fly marker images from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (Patricia Ramos Morales & Rodolfo Felix Estrada)
• Phenotype images from CGS - fly marker images (drawings, many with micrographs) from the Classical Genetics Simulator site
• Digital archive of drawings by Edith Wallace - Drawings of Drosophila by Edith Wallace from the 1920's and 1930's can be found at Caltech's Image Archive (search using "Drosophila").

Images of mites in fly cultures

• Mite poster- example images of mites and mite eggs in fly cultures

Movies of developmental processes

• FlyMove - a source of information, images, and movies on various fly developmental processes from Christian Klämbt and colleagues
• Fly Morph-O-Genesis - movies of fly embryogenesis from Thom Kaufman, Rudi Turner and colleagues at the Society of Developmental Biology site (embryonic stills can be found here along with SEMs of wild type and mutant fly heads - scanning electron micrographs from Rudi Turner).
