Olfactory Sensitivity in Tsetse Flies: a Daily Rhythm [PDF]
The diurnal tsetse Glossina morsitans morsitans bites especially in early morning and late afternoon; around midday feeding is at a low. In laboratory apparatus that measures the amount of locomotion under constant conditions over the photophase, the flies display a similar patterning of activity levels. The profile of daily rhythms for G.

Long‐Term Evolution Under Heatwave Conditions in the Seed Beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus
Here, using the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, we investigated the long‐term effects of evolution after 43 generations of fluctuating temperature with added heatwave exposure on two important life history traits, development time and lifetime reproductive success (LRS).

The transformer gene controls sexual development in Drosophila suzukii
The transformer gene plays a key role in the genetic pathway for sexual development in Drosophila suzukii Abstract The genetic network of sex determination in the model organism Drosophila melanogaster was investigated in great detail. Such knowledge not only advances our understanding of the evolution and regulation of sexual dimorphism in insects ...

Genetic engineering for SIT application: a fruit fly‐focused review
Abstract Sterile insect technique (SIT) has become a key component of efficient pest control. Fruit fly pests from the Drosophilidae and Tephritidae families pose a substantial and overwhelmingly increasing threat to the agricultural industry, aggravated by climate change and globalization among other contributors.
