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

Automated measurement of Drosophila wings [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Many studies in evolutionary biology and genetics are limited by the rate at which phenotypic information can be acquired. The wings of Drosophila species are a favorable target for automated analysis because of the many interesting questions

Intron retention in the Drosophila melanogaster Rieske iron sulphur protein gene generated a new protein [PDF]
Genomes can encode a variety of proteins with unrelated architectures and activities. It is known that protein-coding genes of de novo origin have significantly contributed to this diversity.
