Rearing flies to control flies!

Researchers at the Charles Darwin Research Station study the invasive fly Philornis downsi to protect Galápagos birds. Through controlled rearing, data recording, and experiments on reproduction and behavior, they develop biological control methods. Despite challenges like low mating success, steady laboratory work supports conservation efforts and the survival of endemic species.
