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.

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.

Phylogeography of the Subgenus Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae): Evolutionary History of Faunal Divergence between the Old and the New Worlds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
The current subgenus Drosophila (the traditional immigrans-tripunctata radiation) includes major elements of temperate drosophilid faunas in the northern hemisphere.

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.

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

Testes-specific hemoglobins in Drosophila evolved by a combination of sub- and neofunctionalization after gene duplication [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012
Background For a long time the presence of respiratory proteins in most insects has been considered unnecessary. However, in recent years it has become evident that globins belong to the standard repertoire of the insect genome.

Characterization of the chemoreceptor repertoire of a highly specialized fly with comparisons to other Drosophila species [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology
To 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 ...

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

Codon usage in twelve species of Drosophila [PDF]

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007
Background Codon usage bias (CUB), the uneven use of synonymous codons, is a ubiquitous observation in virtually all organisms examined. The pattern of codon usage is generally similar among closely related species, but differs significantly among ...

Phylogenomic Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Relationships of Tropical Drosophilidae: From <i>Drosophila</i> to <i>Scaptodrosophila</i>. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The study expands genomic resources for Drosophila and Scaptodrosophila species by using mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed well‐supported evolutionary relationships, with Scaptodrosophila forming a distinct lineage and several Drosophila subgroups exhibiting monophyly, though discrepancies were found in the placement of the suzukii ...
