Three new Drosophilidae species records for South Africa

Bothalia: African Biodiversity & Conservation, 2019
Background: Data on the current species diversity from the Drosophilidae family in South Africa is limited or outdated. Objectives: Using haphazard, limited trapping for a different study, we serendipitously report on and document Drosophilidae species ...

Evidence of Adaptive Evolution in Wolbachia-Regulated Gene DNMT2 and Its Role in the Dipteran Immune Response and Pathogen Blocking

Viruses, 2021
Eukaryotic nucleic acid methyltransferase (MTase) proteins are essential mediators of epigenetic and epitranscriptomic regulation. DNMT2 belongs to a large, conserved family of DNA MTases found in many organisms, including holometabolous insects such as ...

A short note on additional records of fruitfly (Diptera, Drosophilidae) from Malta [PDF]

, 2015
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 ...

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

European 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.

Live Drosophila melanogaster Larvae Deter Oviposition by Drosophila suzukii

Insects, 2022
The worldwide invasive insect pest, Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted-wing Drosophila), lays eggs in soft and stone fruit before harvest. Hatched larvae cause fruit collapse and significant economic losses.

Marking Drosophila suzukii (Diptera : Drosophilidae) with fluorescent dusts [PDF]

, 2020
The marking of Drosophila suzukii can be an important instrument for studying the ecology and behaviour of this economically important fruit pest, aiding the development of new Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tools or strategies.

Biological Control of Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)—Current and Pending Tactics

Journal of Integrated Pest Management, 2019
Spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is originally from Asia, and in the last decade it has become a global economic pest of small fruits and cherries.

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

European 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.

Paralog-Dependent Specialization of Paf1C Subunit, Ctr9, for Sex Chromosome Gene Regulation and Male Germline Differentiation in Drosophila. [PDF]

Genes Cells
We show that Drosophila melanogaster genome maintains testis‐specific paralogs encoding components of the transcription regulator Paf1C. One of the paralog products, Ctr9t, forms a unique compartment within the spermatocyte nucleolus. Ctr9t acts as a suppressor of X chromosome genes and an activator of Y chromosome fertility genes, thereby ensuring ...
