Molecular Evolution of the Amy Multigenes in the Subgenus Sophophora of Drosophila [PDF]
Molecular Biology and Evolution, 1997 Molecular evolution of the Amy multigenes in Drosophila was investigated using PCR amplification. Twenty-five partial Amy sequences from 13 species belonging mainly to the subgenus Sophophora were determine, and a molecular phylogeny of the Amy genes in Drosophila was constructed, together with published Amy sequences.

Lek behaviour in three species of the subgenus Hirtodrosophila of Australian Drosophila [PDF]
Nature, 1977 LEK behaviour, or the use of courting territories, is well known in the patterned wing, Hawaiian species of the subgenus Drosophila, but not elsewhere in the genus1. Australian Drosophila comprise a major adaptive radiation in the subgenus Scaptodrosophila, and minor radiations in Hirtodrosophila and Sophophora2,3.

Adaptive radiation in the subgenus Scaptodrosophila of Australian Drosophila [PDF]
Nature, 1975 UNTIL a recent survey, based on the two major museum collections of Australia1, the Australian Drosophila fauna was poorly known and few endemic species had been described. This survey covered 81 species including 40 described as new. The world total of Drosophila species is known to exceed 1,250 (ref.

The origin of chromosomal inversions as a source of segmental duplications in the Sophophora subgenus of Drosophila [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractChromosomal inversions can contribute to the adaptation of organisms to their environment by capturing particular advantageous allelic combinations of a set of genes included in the inverted fragment and also by advantageous functional changes due to the inversion process itself that might affect not only the expression of flanking genes but ...

Ecology and Diversity of Urban <i>Drosophila</i> Species Communities as Potential Indicators of Biodiversity Decline. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated urban Drosophila communities in Vienna using ~18,000 specimens collected with citizen scientists, identifying 13 species including two new records for Austria (D. mercatorum and D. virilis). Compared to surveys 30 years ago, species richness has declined by more than 50%, with formerly common species replaced by neobiotic taxa.

Evolution of a pest: towards the complete neuroethology of Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora [PDF]
, 2019 Comparative analysis of multiple genomes has been used extensively to examine the evolution of chemosensory receptors across the genus Drosophila. However, few studies have delved into functional characteristics, as most have relied exclusively on genomic data alone, especially for non-model species.

Immune genes and divergent antimicrobial peptides in flies of the subgenus Drosophila [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016 Drosophila is an important model for studying the evolution of animal immunity, due to the powerful genetic tools developed for D. melanogaster. However, Drosophila is an incredibly speciose lineage with a wide range of ecologies, natural histories, and diverse natural enemies.

Amyrel , a paralogous gene of the amylase gene family in Drosophila melanogaster and the Sophophora subgenus [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 We describe a gene from Drosophila melanogaster related to the alpha-amylase gene Amy . This gene, which exists as a single copy, was named Amyrel. It is strikingly divergent from Amy because the amino acid divergence is 40%. The coding sequence

CHROMOSOMAL EVOLUTION OF ELEMENTS B AND C IN THE SOPHOPHORA SUBGENUS OF DROSOPHILA: EVOLUTIONARY RATE AND POLYMORPHISM [PDF]
Evolution, 2006 The locations of 77 markers along the chromosomal elements B (41 markers) and C (36 markers) of Drosophila subobscura, D. pseudoobscura, and D. melanogaster were obtained by in situ hybridization on polytene chromosomes. In comparisons between D. subobscura and D.
