Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1109-1122, June 2026.
As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...

Evaluation of different reference based annotation strategies using RNA-Seq - a case study in Drososphila pseudoobscura.

PLoS ONE, 2012
RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for the annotation of genomes, in particular for the identification of isoforms and UTRs. Nevertheless, several software tools exist and no standard strategy to obtain a reliable annotation is yet established.

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2061-2077, May 2026.
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioural response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Background: Insects respond to the spatial and temporal dynamics of a pheromone plume, which implies not only a strong response to"odor on", but also to"odor off". This requires mechanisms geared toward a fast signal termination.

Conserved genomic organisation of Group B Sox genes in insects.

BMC Genetics, 2005
Background Sox domain containing genes are important metazoan transcriptional regulators implicated in a wide rage of developmental processes. The vertebrate B subgroup contains the Sox1, Sox2 and Sox3 genes that have early functions in neural ...

Clustering sperm: A statistical approach to identify sperm morph numbers in the Drosophila obscura species group

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, Page 48-62, March 2026.
Most Drosophila species, such as D. melanogaster, make one type of sperm, while the obscura species group produces multiple sperm morphs, with different total lengths and nuclear lengths. The pseudoobscura species subgroup produces three sperm morphs (one long, two short). This is a derived feature as other sub‐groups produce two sperm morphs.

Genome-wide tests for introgression between cactophilic Drosophila implicate a role of inversions during speciation [PDF]

, 2015
K.L. was funded by a junior research fellowship from the National Environmental Research Council, UK (NE/I020288/1, NBAF659).Models of speciation-with-gene-flow have shown that the reduction in recombination between alternative chromosome arrangements ...

A recombinational portrait of the Drosophila pseudoobscura genome

Genetical Research, 2006
Drosophila pseudoobscura has been intensively studied by evolutionary biologists for over 70 years. The recent publication of the genome sequence not only permits studies of comparative genomics with other dipterans but also opens the door to identifying genes associated with adaptive traits or speciation or testing for the signature of natural ...

Developmental and molecular analysis of sperm in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]

Drosophila pseudoobscura produce three distinct sperm morphs: a long fertilising morph, the eusperm, and short and medium non-fertilising morphs, parasperm 1 and 2.
