A Geometric Chung Lu model and the Drosophila Medulla connectome [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Many real world graphs have edges correlated to the distance between them, but, in an inhomogeneous manner. While the Chung-Lu model and the geometric random graph models both are elegant in their simplicity, they are insufficient to capture the complexity of these networks.

Bacteria and viruses and their role in the preschool wheeze to asthma transition
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2024.Abstract Wheezing is the cardinal symptom of asthma; its presence early in life, mostly caused by viral infections, is a major risk factor for the establishment of persistent or recurrent disease. Early‐life wheezing and asthma exacerbations are triggered by common respiratory viruses, mainly rhinoviruses (RV), and to a lesser extent, respiratory ...

Computer-Aided Automated Detection of Gene-Controlled Social Actions of Drosophila [PDF]
International Conference on Smart Cities at Cambridge 2018, 2019 Gene expression of social actions in Drosophilae has been attracting wide interest from biologists, medical scientists and psychologists. Gene-edited Drosophilae have been used as a test platform for experimental investigation. For example, Parkinson's genes can be embedded into a group of newly bred Drosophilae for research purpose.

Spectral Analysis of Protein-Protein Interactions in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
, 2004 Within a case study on the protein-protein interaction network (PIN) of Drosophila melanogaster we investigate the relation between the network's spectral properties and its structural features such as the prevalence of specific subgraphs or duplicate nodes as a result of its evolutionary history.

Examining the associations between a generalist feeder and a highly toxic host
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2024.We used a variety of behavioral assays to assess the association between a generalist feeder and a highly toxic host fungus. Our results suggest that access to a resource with lower competition may help to maintain this association. Abstract Understanding the often antagonistic plant–herbivore interactions and how host defenses can influence herbivore ...

Dimensionality-Reduction in the Drosophila Wing as Revealed by Landmark-Free Measure-ments of Phenotype [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Organismal phenotypes emerge from a complex set of genotypic interactions. While technological advances in sequencing provide a quantitative description of an organism's genotype, characterization of an organism's physical phenotype lags far behind. Here, we relate genotype to the complex and multi-dimensional phenotype of an anatomical structure using

How many species of drosophila (Diptera, Drosophilidae) remain to be described in the forests of São Paulo, Brazil?: species lists of three forest remnants [PDF]
, 2015 This paper describes the composition and abundance of Drosophila species found in three forest remnants in the State of São Paulo. A well-standardized sampling procedure applied on four collecting trips to the same sites on four areas resulted on 944 ...

Anchored phylogenomics and revised classification of the Miltogramminae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae)
Systematic Entomology, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 138-155, January 2024.Anchored hybrid enrichment facilitates the creation of a highly supported phylogenetic hypothesis for the Miltogramminae containing 60% of the currently recognised genera from all biogeographic regions except the Neotropical. The new phylogeny tree facilitates a complete revision of the subfamily including the synonymisation of several genera ...

The flower flies and the unknown diversity of Drosophilidae (Diptera): a biodiversity inventory in the Brazilian fauna [PDF]
, 2019 Diptera is a megadiverse order, reaching its peak of diversity in Neotropics, although our knowledge of dipteran fauna from this region is grossly lacking. This applies even to the most studied families, such as Drosophilidae.

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Insects make up 75%–80% of all known animal species, with estimates ranging from 10 to 30 million, of which approximately 1.11–1.7 million are described. Despite varying estimates, 80% of insect species remain undiscovered. Unfortunately, insect populations have been declining globally in recent decades, which have significant implications for the ...
