FAMILY DROSOPHILIDAE [PDF]

open access: yesZootaxa, 2016
This catalogue presents 176 species distributed in 17 genera and four tribes of Drosophilidae in Colombia, with both subfamilies, Drosophilinae and Steganinae, represented in the Colombian territory. This is probably an underestimate of the real richness of drosophilid species in the country, for two reasons. First, there are relatively few collections

Comparative gene annotation and orthology assignments across 301 species of Drosophilidae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology
High-quality genome annotations are essential if we are to address central questions in comparative genomics, such as the origin of new genes, the drivers of genome size variation, and the evolutionary forces shaping gene content and structure.

Contribution of population-level phenotypic plasticity to the invasiveness of Zaprionus indianus (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2020
Zaprionus indianus is a species of fly native to the Afrotropical biogeographic region, which around twenty years ago invaded the American continent. Several studies have shown that local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of an invasive species in its

Characterization of the immune induced antimicrobial peptide in Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila ananassae

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2021
Insects can recognize invading pathogens and initiate an immune response. Among them, Drosophila has emerged as an invertebrate model for investigating innate immune responses in which antimicrobial peptides play a crucial role.

Evidence of Adaptive Evolution in Wolbachia-Regulated Gene DNMT2 and Its Role in the Dipteran Immune Response and Pathogen Blocking

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Eukaryotic nucleic acid methyltransferase (MTase) proteins are essential mediators of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulation. DNMT2 belongs to a large, conserved family of DNA MTases found in many organisms, including holometabolous insects such as ...

Mycophagous Drosophilidae (Diptera) guild and their hosts in the Brazilian Amazon

open access: yesPapéis Avulsos de Zoologia, 2019
The composition and potential hosts of mycophagous Drosophilidae from a section of the Brazilian Amazon forest in the Caxiuanã National forest were investigated. Sampling was performed in three different periods at long the wet season (January (beginning)

Three new Drosophilidae species records for South Africa

open access: yesBothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2019
Background: Data on the current species diversity from the Drosophilidae family in South Africa is limited or outdated. Objectives: Using haphazard, limited trapping for a different study, we serendipitously report on and document Drosophilidae species ...

Live Drosophila melanogaster Larvae Deter Oviposition by Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesInsects, 2022
The worldwide invasive insect pest, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted-wing Drosophila), lays eggs in soft and stone fruit before harvest. Hatched larvae cause fruit collapse and significant economic losses.
