Zootaxa, 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

Three new Drosophilidae species records for South Africa [PDF]
Bothalia: 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2019 Background: Data on the current species diversity from the Drosophilidae family in South Africa is limited or outdated.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 ...

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

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

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

Evolutionary history and classification of Micropia retroelements in Drosophilidae species.
PLoS ONE, 2019 Transposable elements (TEs) have the main role in shaping the evolution of genomes and host species, contributing to the creation of new genes and promoting rearrangements frequently associated with new regulatory networks.

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.
