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 ...

DrosoPhyla: genomic resources for drosophilid phylogeny and systematics [PDF]
The vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model for invertebrate development, genetics, physiology, neuroscience, and disease. The whole family Drosophilidae, which contains over 4000 species, offers a plethora of cases for comparative and ...

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 ...

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

The genome sequence of a drosophilid fruit fly, Hirtodrosophila cameraria (Haliday, 1833) [version 1; peer review: awaiting peer review] [PDF]
We present a genome assembly from an individual female Hirtodrosophila cameraria (a drosophilid fruit fly; Arthropoda; Insecta; Diptera; Drosophilidae). The genome sequence is 214.5 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 4 chromosomal
