Fluorescent silica nanoparticles as an internal marker in fruit flies and their effects on survivorship and fertility

Abstract Tracking and differentiating small insects at the individual levels requires appropriate marking materials because of their small size. This study proposes and investigates the use of fluorescent silica nanoparticles (FSNPs) as an internal marker owing to their good optical properties and b...
