Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Patterns of Gene Family Evolution and Selection Across Daphnia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
This study examines gene family dynamics within Daphnia species, using comparative genomics to explore adaptive expansion in gene families, particularly those related to stress response. Findings reveal general trends in gene turnover and selection, although most changes are species‐specific, highlighting complex evolutionary patterns.

Carrion‐breeding flies of Australia and New Zealand: A review and key to adults

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Carrion‐breeding flies are diverse with over 70 species in the Australasian/Oceanian region, predominantly from the families Calliphoridae and Sarcophagidae. These flies play crucial roles in ecosystems as primary decomposers, pollinators and food sources for a variety of predators and parasites.

DNA from museum samples of a parasitoid wasp genus (Braconidae: Syntretus) offers novel insights into host‐parasitoid interactions

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 319-329, May 2025.
Our investigation applied genome skimming to museum specimens of Syntretus, a parasitoid wasp, due to its suspected parasitism of short‐haired bumblebee (Bombus subterraneus) queens during a reintroduction programme. We detected two clades within Syntretus, a possible consequence of host choice.

Evolution of a pest: towards the complete neuroethology of Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

A microsatellite linkage map of [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Background Drosophila mojavensis has been a model system for genetic studies of ecological adaptation and speciation. However, despite its use for over half a century, no linkage map has been produced for this species or its close relatives.
