Evolution of chemosensory and detoxification gene families across herbivorous Drosophilidae [PDF]

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023
AbstractHerbivorous insects are exceptionally diverse, accounting for a quarter of all known eukaryotic species, but the genetic basis of adaptations that enabled this dietary transition remains poorly understood. Many studies have suggested that expansions and contractions of chemosensory and detoxification gene families – genes directly mediating ...

Decoupled evolution of the Sex Peptide gene family and Sex Peptide Receptor in Drosophilidae [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023
Across internally fertilising species, males transfer ejaculate proteins that trigger wide-ranging changes in female behaviour and physiology. Much theory has been developed to explore the drivers of ejaculate protein evolution. The accelerating availability of high-quality genomes now allows us to test how these proteins are evolving at ...

The mariner transposable element in the Drosophilidae family [PDF]

Heredity, 1994
The distribution of the mariner transposable element among Drosophilidae species was investigated using three different techniques, i.e. squash blots, Southern blots and PCR amplification, using two sets of primers (one corresponding to the Inverted Terminal Repeats and the other to two conserved regions of the putative transposase).

A supermatrix-based molecular phylogeny of the family Drosophilidae [PDF]

Genetics Research, 2010
SummaryThe genusDrosophilais diverse and heterogeneous and contains a large number of easy-to-rear species, so it is an attractive subject for comparative studies. The ability to perform such studies is currently compromised by the lack of a comprehensive phylogeny forDrosophilaand related genera.

NEW RECORDS OF THE FAMILY DROSOPHILIDAE FROM IRAN

Redia
This study focuses on the family Drosophilidae in West Azerbaijan, northwest Iran, where 11 species across four genera were recorded. Notably, one species, Scaptomyza adusta (Loew, 1862), is recorded in Iran for the first time. As is well known, flies belonging to the Drosophilidae family are significant agricultural pests in Iran.

Genome size diversity in the family Drosophilidae [PDF]

Heredity, 2008
Flies in the genus Drosophila have been the dominant model organisms in genetics for over a century and, with a dozen complete sequences now available, continue as such in modern comparative genomics. Surprisingly, estimates of genome size for this genus have been relatively sparse, covering less than 2% of species.

FAMILY DROSOPHILIDAE

Zootaxa, 2016
This catalogue presents 176 species distributed in 17 genera and four tribes of Drosophilidae in Colombia, with both subfamilies, Drosophilinae and Steganinae, represented in the Colombian territory. This is probably an underestimate of the real richness of drosophilid species in the country, for two reasons. First, there are relatively few collections

The phylogenetic relationships of flies in the family drosophilidae deduced from mtDNA sequences

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 1992
The phylogenetic relationships of several taxa from representative genera, subgenera, groups, and subgroups in the Drosophilidae were examined using sequences from a 905-bp mtDNA fragment. Conventional cloning and sequencing techniques were used to obtain nucleotide sequences.

Use of a Novel Host Plant Family, Basallaceae, by Drosophila Suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2018
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumara) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a highly polyphagous invasive vinegar fly and a pest of small and stone fruits in regions where it has established. Its ability to use a wide range of food sources has likely aided in its success as an invasive species.
