Warrant, Eric J. LU
(2017)
In Current Biology
27(6).
p.234-237
- Abstract
Flying insect predators intercept their aerial prey with deadly precision. New research reveals that a tiny robber fly, with a brain smaller than a pinhead, achieves this using the same visual mechanism that we ourselves employ to catch a passing ball.
