Standardized terminology and visual atlas of the external morphology and terminalia for the genus Scaptomyza (Diptera: Drosophilidae) [PDF]
Fly, 2022 The genus Scaptomyza is one of the two Drosophilidae genera with Hawaiian endemic species. This genus is an excellent model for biogeographic studies since it is distributed throughout the majority of continents, including continental islands, the ...

Genome size diversity in the family Drosophilidae [PDF]
Heredity, 2008 Flies in the genus Drosophila have been the dominant model organisms in genetics for over a century and, with a dozen complete sequences now available, continue as such in modern comparative genomics. Surprisingly, estimates of genome size for this genus have been relatively sparse, covering less than 2% of species.

Insecticidal Activity of Selected Essential Oils against Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Plants, 2023 The spotted wing drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is an invasive polyphagous pest of soft-skinned fruit that has started to threaten small fruit production in Europe since 2008.

Decoupled evolution of the Sex Peptide gene family and Sex Peptide Receptor in Drosophilidae
bioRxiv, 2023 Across internally fertilising species, males transfer ejaculate proteins that trigger wide-ranging changes in female behaviour and physiology. Much theory has been developed to explore the drivers of ejaculate protein evolution.

Exceptional Species Diversity of Drosophilidae (Diptera) in a Neotropical Forest
American Museum Novitates, 2023 The highest single-site species diversity known thus far in the world for Drosophilidae is in Costa Rica, based on findings in this report. A total of 352 species of Drosophilidae (Diptera) were found in a cloud forest (1580 m) in Zurquí de Moravia, San ...
