Diversity and associations between Drosophilidae (Diptera) species and Basidiomycetes in a Neotropical forest

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016
Drosophilidae is one of the most representative families of insects that occurs in fungal fruiting bodies of Basidiomycetes; however, the diversity and community structure of mycophagous Drosophilidae in the Neotropical region is poorly known.

Developing heterospecific sterile insect technique for pest control: insights from the spotted wing fly Drosophila suzukii

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 5214-5223, September 2025.
Irradiated Drosophila melanogaster males successfully court and mate with D. suzukii females and significantly reduce numbers of D. suzukii offspring under different species ratios. Abstract BACKGROUND Reproductive interference (i.e. sexual interaction between males of one species and females of another species that reduce the fitness of one or both ...

African Fig Fly (Diptera: Drosophilidae): Biology, Expansion of Geographic Range, and Its Potential Status as a Soft Fruit Pest

Journal of Integrated Pest Management, 2019
African fig fly, Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is originally from the Afrotropics but has been expanding its geographical range globally, including the United States. It was first reported in Virginia northward in 2012.

A phylogenomic study of Steganinae fruit flies (Diptera: Drosophilidae): strong gene tree heterogeneity and evidence for monophyly

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background The Drosophilidae family is traditionally divided into two subfamilies: Drosophilinae and Steganinae. This division is based on morphological characters, and the two subfamilies have been treated as monophyletic in most of the literature, but ...

Comparative Embryology and Transcriptomics of Asellus infernus, an Isopod Crustacean From Sulfidic Groundwater

Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2025.
Individuals of Asellus infernus, a sulfidic subterranean population of the Asellus aquaticus species complex from southeastern Romania (left) and surface individuals of A. aquaticus (right). Extreme differences in phenotype are seen comparing the subterranean and surface individuals as adults (top panels) and as embryonic samples (bottom panels ...
