Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species

open access: yesInsect 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.

Acorns as Breeding Sites for \u3ci\u3eChymomyza Amoena\u3c/i\u3e (Loew) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Virginia and Michigan [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chymomyza amoena is the only chymomyzid fly emerging from white oak acorns in Virginia. An average of 2-3 adult flies emerged from a single acorn in July while emergence declined to 0.4 adults/acorns in September.

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 ...

Abundance and host associations of parasitoids attacking frugivorous drosophilids on Iriomote-jima, a subtropical island of Japan

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2012
To understand the factors governing the diversity, abundance and host associations of parasitoids attacking frugivorous drosophilid flies on Iriomote-jima, a subtropical island of Japan, we monitored parasitism on several occasions over the period 2003 ...

Wolbachia injection from usual to naive host in Drosophila simulans (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2001
Wolbachia pipientis (Hertig) (Rickettsiaceae) is an endocellular bacterium infecting numerous species of arthropods. The bacterium is harboured by males and females but is only transmitted maternally because spermatocytes shed their Wolbachia during ...
