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

Austral 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.

Taxonomic and evolutionary analysis of Zaprionus indianus and its colonization of Palearctic and Neotropical regions

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 ...

Conservation of nuclear SSR loci reveals high affinity of Quercus infectoria ssp. veneris A. Kern (Fagaceae) to section Robur [PDF]

, 2013
Conservation of 16 nuclear microsatellite loci, originally developed for Quercus macrocarpa (section Albae), Q. petraea, Q. robur (section Robur) and Q. myrsinifolia, (subgenus Cyclobalanopsis) was tested in a Q. infectoria ssp. veneris population from Cyprus.

Inferring Network Mechanisms: The Drosophila melanogaster Protein Interaction Network [PDF]

PNAS, Vol. 102, No. 9, pp. 3192-3197 (March 1, 2005), 2004
Naturally occurring networks exhibit quantitative features revealing underlying growth mechanisms. Numerous network mechanisms have recently been proposed to reproduce specific properties such as degree distributions or clustering coefficients.

Risk and protective factors for ASF in domestic pigs and wild boar in the EU, and mitigation measures for managing the disease in wild boar

EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2024.
Abstract Five epidemiological aspects of ASF were evaluated using literature reviews, field studies, questionnaires and mathematical models. First, a literature review and a case–control study in commercial pig farms emphasised the importance of biosecurity and farming practices, including the spread of manure around farms and the use of bedding ...

Phenotypic divergence of Glossina morsitans (Diptera: Glossinidae) populations in Zambia: Application of landmark‐based wing geometric morphometrics to discriminate population‐level variation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
Land‐mark based geomorphometric wing analysis of Glossina morsitans populations in Zambia shows that this tsetse exhibit significant population‐level variation in fly size and wing shape suggesting high levels of population structuring. The main drivers of this structuring could be random genetic drift and local adaptation to environmental conditions ...

Revisiting the ecology and evolution of burying beetle behavior (Staphylinidae: Silphinae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
Burying beetles of the genus Nicrophorus are becoming a model system for the evolution of parental care. Investigating fundamental processes in biology requires the ability to ground broad questions in species‐specific natural history. Here, we leverage a developing community of researchers who have contributed to a detailed knowledge of burying ...

Reward prediction errors arising from switches between major and minor modes in music: An fMRI study [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Evidence has accumulated that prediction error processing plays a role in the enjoyment of music listening. The present study examined listeners' neural responses to the signed reward prediction errors (RPEs) arising from switches between major and minor modes in music. We manipulated the final chord of J.

First record of Atherigona orientalis Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Muscidae) in France

EPPO Bulletin, Volume 54, Issue 2, Page 230-235, August 2024.
Abstract The first record of the pepper fruit fly, Atherigona orientalis Schiner, 1868, in mainland France is reported in this paper. Larvae were found in 2022 in fruits of Capsicum annuum and adults were reared in 2023 from Passiflora caerulea fruits in two localities of southern France.
