Polyphyly of Lordiphosa and its relationships in Drosophilinae (Diptera: Drosophilidae) [PDF]
SummaryThe phylogenetic relationships of Lordiphosa and some taxa in Drosophilinae were analysed on the basis of a total of forty‐one selected drosophilid species. These included eighteen species of five Lordiphosa species‐groups as the main target, twenty‐three species representative of the major drosophiline ingroup taxa and four species of ...

Ancient origin for Hawaiian Drosophilinae inferred from protein comparisons. [PDF]
Immunological comparisons of a larval hemolymph protein enabled us to build a tree relating major groups of drosophiline flies in Hawaii to one another and to continental flies. The tree agrees in topology with that based on internal anatomy. Relative rate tests suggest that evolution of hemolymph proteins has been about as fast in Hawaii as on ...

Alternative prey mediate intraguild predation in the open field
Intraguild predation of Geocoris by Nabis was more common in fields where aphids or thrips were more abundant. Abstract BACKGROUND Generalist predators that kill and eat other natural enemies can weaken biological control. However, pest suppression can be disrupted even if actual intraguild predation is infrequent, if predators reduce their foraging to

Flies as models for circadian clock adaptation to environmental challenges
This review summarizes our current understanding of the evolutionary processes that underlie the molecular, neuronal, and behavioural adaptation of fly circadian clocks to different latitudes. Abstract Life on earth is assumed to have developed in tropical regions that are characterized by regular 24 hr cycles in irradiance and temperature that remain ...

This work presents the ultrastructure of testis of the medically important blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) using light microscopy and electron microscopy. Reproductive organ of males was dissected to determine the testis in the pupal stage, 3‐day‐old flies and 7‐day‐old flies and observed under scanning electron ...
