Pupal size as a proxy for fat content in laboratory-reared and field-collected Drosophila species
Scientific Reports, 2022 In arthropods, larger individuals tend to have more fat reserves, but data for many taxa are still missing. For the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster, only few studies have provided experimental data linking body size to fat content.

PLoS ONE, 2023 The C2H2 zinc finger gene cucoid establishes anterior-posterior (AP) polarity in the early embryo of culicine mosquitoes. This gene is unrelated to genes that establish embryo polarity in other fly species (Diptera), such as the homeobox gene bicoid ...

Contrasting patterns of transposable element insertions in Drosophila heat-shock promoters. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The proximal promoter regions of heat-shock genes harbor a remarkable number of P transposable element (TE) insertions relative to both positive and negative control proximal promoter regions in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster.

Insects, 2023 Two taxonomically similar Drosophila species, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila suzukii, are known to have distinct habitats: D. melanogaster is mostly found near overripe and fermented fruits, whereas D. suzukii is attracted to fresh fruits.

Dynamics of Wolbachia pipientis gene expression across the Drosophila melanogaster life cycle [PDF]
, 2015 Symbiotic interactions between microbes and their multicellular hosts have manifold impacts on molecular, cellular and organismal biology. To identify candidate bacterial genes involved in maintaining endosymbiotic associations with insect hosts, we ...

The number of genes in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Nature, 1978 THE number of genes in an organism is one of its fundamental biological parameters and relates to the number of functions required to construct that organism and determine its physiological characteristics. It is generally assumed that with increasing organic complexity the number of genes of the species must increase.

The DNA polymerases of Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Fly, 2020 DNA synthesis during replication or repair is a fundamental cellular process that is catalyzed by a set of evolutionary conserved polymerases. Despite a large body of research, the DNA polymerases of Drosophila melanogaster have not yet been systematically reviewed, leading to inconsistencies in their nomenclature, shortcomings in their functional ...

Understanding the Wolbachia-mediated inhibition of arboviruses in mosquitoes: progress and challenges [PDF]
, 2014 Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a considerable threat to human and animal health, yet effective control measures have proven difficult to implement, and novel means of controlling their replication in arthropod vectors, such as mosquitoes, are
