Fitness traits of Drosophila melanogaster (Diptera: Drosophilidae) after long-term laboratory rearing on different diets

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2017
Nutrition is one of the most important environmental factors that influence the development and growth in Drosophila. The food composition strongly affects their reproduction, welfare and survival, so it is necessary for flies to search for a mixture of ...

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.

A Note on the Sympatric Collection of \u3ci\u3eChymomyza\u3c/i\u3e (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Virginia\u27s Allegheny Mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The attraction of two Chymomyza species, C. procnemoides and C. aldrichii, to the same damaged tree over 19 days in summer 1987 near Mt. Lake Hotel, Giles Co., Virginia is documented, confirming a previous report that Chymomyza species may be sympatric ...

Three new Drosophilidae species records for South Africa

open access: yesBothalia: 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 ...
