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.

A short note on additional records of fruitfly (Diptera, Drosophilidae) from Malta [PDF]
The fruitflies of the family Drosophilidae that occur in the Maltese Islands were studied by Ebejer. Thirteen species were recorded including the common species Zaprionus tuberculatus Malloch, 1932, which is predominantly associated with fallen and ...

Drosophilidae This worldwide family of acalyptrate flies contains 4,139 species (Evenhuis & Pape 2020) being most speciose in the Hawaiian Islands where more than 600 species are known (N. Evenhuis, per. comm. June 2020). Rondani (1856, 1875d) described two Palaearctic nominal species, Drosophila uvarum Rondani, 1875, considered as a junior synonym ...

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.

A Comparative Functional Approach to the Host Detection Behaviour of Parasitic Wasps. 1. A Qualitative Study on Eucoilidae and Alysiinae [PDF]
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

Yellow or purple: African fig fly (Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970) capture using colored baits [PDF]
Zaprionus indianus Gupta, 1970 (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is an invasive species of African origin with its first record in Brazil in 1999. The species quickly dispersed throughout Brazil and produced significant impacts on fig culture.

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.

Diptera Pests Occurring on Vegetable Crops in Poland
In Poland, the share of Diptera in the species composition of the harmful entomofauna occurring on vegetable crops ranges from 20 to 25%. They occur on all vegetables grown in Poland (over 80 species and botanical varieties).

First report of colored pan traps to capture Drosophilidae (Diptera)
The use of robust sample methodologies to estimate the highest number of species with different ecological requirements and traits is essential to the knowledge construction of the biodiversity and to establish wildlife assessment and monitoring programs.
