Establishment of transgenic Drosophila suzukii lines that express phiC31 integrase and carry the sepia gene as a marker for transformation. [PDF]
Insect Mol BiolGermline transformation of the Drosophila suzukii se1 strain with the wild‐type sepia gene (~1.8 kb) using a piggyBac vector. Most lines show full rescue of sepia mutant eye colour. The lines express phage phiC31 integrase in the germline using a Dsnanos promoter.

Recently Evolved, Stage-Specific Genes Are Enriched at Life-Stage Transitions in Flies. [PDF]
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev EvolWe discovered that 20%–30% of protein‐coding genes in Drosophila melanogaster and Aedes aegypti are only expressed during specific stages of development. Surprisingly, many of these stage‐specific genes are newly evolved, unique to flies and mosquitoes, shedding light on how insect development has evolved over time.

A Comparative Functional Approach to the Host Detection Behaviour of Parasitic Wasps. 1. A Qualitative Study on Eucoilidae and Alysiinae [PDF]
, 1985 We studied host detection behaviour in Alysiinae (Braconidae; Ichneumonoidea) and Eucoilidae (Cynipoidea), the larvae of which are endoparasitoids of fly larvae and in- vestigated whether this behaviour is determined by their descent or can be considered
