Drosophilidae (Diptera) of the Cook Islands

open access: yesRecords of the Australian Museum, 2021
In 2017 a survey was conducted of the Drosophilidae on the remote Cook Islands: Rarotonga, Aitutaki and Mangaia in the Tropical South Pacific. A diverse range of collecting methods was implemented, at different elevations and in domestic, rural, and ...

Comparative mitogenomics of Drosophilidae and the evolution of the Zygothrica genus group (Diptera, Drosophilidae) [PDF]

open access: yesGenetica, 2021
The Zygothrica genus group of Drosophilidae encompasses more than 437 species and five genera. Although knowledge regarding its diversity has increased, uncertainties about its monophyly and position within Drosophilidae remain. Genomic approaches have been widely used to address different phylogenetic questions and analyses involving the mitogenome ...

The Drosophilidae Associated with Tropical African Figs [PDF]

open access: yesEvolution, 1982
In the tropical African region the entire drosophilid genus Lissoceplzala and Drosophila $mu species group have evolved a close association with endemic figs (Ficus spp., Moraceae). We previously described the biology of a few of these figdependent drosophilids (Lachaise, 1977). We report here on a further investigation in evergreen rainforests, mainly

Fine structure of Drosophila larval salivary gland ducts as revealed by laser confocal microscopy and SEM

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2021
The functions of the larval salivary glands (SGs) of Drosophila are traditionally associated with the production of a massive secretion during puparium formation; it is exocytosed into a centrally located lumen and subsequently expectorated via ducts ...

Gut microbiota influences female choice and fecundity in the nuptial gift-giving species, Drosophila subobscura (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
Recently, there has been rapidly growing interest in the effects of the microbiota on host physiology and behaviour. Due to the nutritional value of bacteria, gut microflora may be particularly important in species that present nuptial gifts during ...

Unique phenotypes and variation in the sex comb patterns and their evolutionary implications in the Drosophila bipectinata species complex (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2006
Understanding the genetic mechanisms of morphological evolution is one of the greatest challenges in evolutionary biology and for such studies sexually dimorphic traits in closely related species are of prime interest.

New set of microsatellite markers for the spotted-wing Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae): A promising molecular tool for inferring the invasion history of this major insect pest

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2015
Historical and observational data for invasive species are often sparse and incomplete, so molecular genetic markers are increasingly used and have proved to be efficient tools to make inferences about invasion histories.

Developmental temperature, body size and male mating success in fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2013
Body size is one of the most investigated traits in studies of sexual selection in fruit flies of the genus Drosophila. In D. melanogaster, size has often been correlated with male mating success, i.e.

Laboratory evaluation of effects of powdered sulphur on the oviposition, fruit detection and behaviour of Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae) on strawberry

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2020
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) is an invasive pest from South-East Asia that can damage a wide range of soft-skinned fruit crops (especially berries) resulting in serious financial losses. At present, control of D.
