Spotted Wing Drosophila in Florida Berry Culture
EDIS, 2016 Spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is an invasive pest that was introduced into Florida in 2009. Spotted wing drosophila survives well under Florida’s climatic conditions.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.This study was designed to understand the association between reproductive endosymbiotic bacteria and wild and laboratory‐reared Tuta absoluta populations. The majority of T. absoluta populations showed Wolbachia presence at varying levels of infection, whereas Arsenophonus, Cardinium, and Spiroplasma were not detected. Wolbachia‐positive T.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Hyperspectral proximal sensing was used to characterize the life stages and physiological responses of Diatraea saccharalis and to detect parasitism by Cotesia flavipes. Distinct spectral signatures differentiated eggs, larval instars, pupae, and adults, as well as live, dead, and parasitized larvae.

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 Drosophilidae is one of the most representative families of insects that occurs in fungal fruiting bodies of Basidiomycetes; however, the diversity and community structure of mycophagous Drosophilidae in the Neotropical region is poorly known.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Using multiple infected and uninfected Drosophila sturtevanti lines, we investigated (i) the impact of Wolbachia on fecundity and (ii) its effects relative to antibiotic treatment. Based on over 1680 dissected ovaries, fecundity was similar between infected and uninfected flies.

Evolution of testicular architecture in the Drosophilidae: A role for sperm length
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008 Background Evolutionary biologists have so far largely treated the testis as a black box with a certain size, a matching resource demand and a resulting sperm output.

Strong diel variation in the activity of insect taxa sampled by Malaise traps
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Malaise traps sampled different communities during mornings (06:00–12:00), afternoons (12:00–16:00), evenings (18:00–22:00), and nights (22:00–06:00), highlighting the difference in diel rhythm between taxa. The highest diversity and abundance of insects were found during afternoons, the lowest diversity during night, and the lowest abundance during ...

Occurrence of Zaprionus indianus (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Agudo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
EntomoBrasilis, 2012 This work has the first record of Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) found in the rural area of Agudo in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The adults were first found in plums (Prunus salicina Lindl).

Forest type influence on Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Responses to forest type depended on the developmental stage of dipterans. Bract traits and forest type influenced larval abundance, but forest type had no impact on adult alpha and beta diversity. Heliconia‐dipteran interaction networks showed a nested pattern for both forest types.
