Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 Zaprionus indianus is a dipteran (Drosophilidae) with a wide distribution throughout the tropics and temperate Palearctic and Nearctic regions. There have been proposals to reclassify the genus Zaprionus as a subgenus or group of the genus Drosophila ...

Evolution of the sugar receptors in insects
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Perception of sugars is an invaluable ability for insects which often derive quickly accessible energy from these molecules. A distinctive subfamily of eight proteins within the gustatory receptor (Gr) family has been identified as sugar ...

Metaphase Configurations in Drosophila: A Comparison of Endemic Hawaiian Species and Non-Endemic Species [PDF]
, 1976 The metaphase configurations of 400 strains from 63 species of Hawaiian Drosophila were determined from squash preparations of larval brain tissue or spermatogenic cells from adult testes.

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.

Systematic Entomology, EarlyView.We present an extensive phylogenetic analysis, based on 293 nuclear loci and 728 individuals representing 237 species of Anastrepha, the largest and most economically important New World genus of Tephritidae. The analysis strongly supports the monophyly of most Anastrepha species groups, also revealing previously unknown relationships among species and

Codon usage in twelve species of
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 ...

Multiple and diverse structural changes affect the breakpoint regions of polymorphic inversions across the Drosophila genus [PDF]
, 2017 Chromosomal polymorphism is widespread in the Drosophila genus, with extensive evidence supporting its adaptive character in diverse species. Moreover, inversions are the major contributors to the genus chromosomal evolution.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.
