Functional olfactory evolution in Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Summary: Comparative analyses of multiple genomes are used extensively to examine the gains and losses of chemosensory receptors across the genus Drosophila. However, few studies have delved into functional olfactory characteristics.

Phylogenetic patterns of geographical and ecological diversification in the subgenus Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Colonisation of new geographic regions and/or of new ecological resources can result in rapid species diversification into the new ecological niches available. Members of the subgenus Drosophila are distributed across the globe and show a large diversity

A revision of the subgenus Dudaica Strand of the genus Drosophila Fallén, with descriptions of six new species (Diptera, Drosophilidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2018 The subgenus Dudaica Strand of the genus Drosophila Fallén has been known to comprise only two species: Drosophila (Dudaica) senilis Duda, 1926 (recorded from Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Bhutan, and India) and D.

Differential attraction of drosophilids to banana baits inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hanseniaspora uvarum within a Neotropical forest remnant [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Yeasts are a necessary requisite in the diet of most Drosophila species that, in turn, may vector their dispersal in natural environments.

Characterization of the chemoreceptor repertoire of a highly specialized fly with comparisons to other Drosophila species [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyTo explore the diversity of scenarios in nature, animals have evolved tools to interact with different environmental conditions. Chemoreceptors are an important interface component and among them, olfactory receptors (ORs) and gustatory receptors (GRs ...

A comparative study of the short term cold resistance response in distantly related Drosophila species: the role of regucalcin and frost. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The molecular basis of short term cold resistance (indexed as chill-coma recovery time) has been mostly addressed in D. melanogaster, where candidate genes (Dca (also known as smp-30) and Frost (Fst)) have been identified.

Drosophila genes that affect meiosis duration are among the meiosis related genes that are more often found duplicated. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Using a phylogenetic approach, the examination of 33 meiosis/meiosis-related genes in 12 Drosophila species, revealed nine independent gene duplications, involving the genes cav, mre11, meiS332, polo and mtrm. Evidence is provided that at least eight out
