1. Species of Drosophilidae are frequently used as model organisms, but their relationships
with the environment, particularly in immature stages, remain poorly known. 2. This is the …

The cactus–yeast–Drosophila model system provides an excellent opportunity to investigate
the significance of ecological factors in evolution. D. buzzatii and D. koepferae are sister …

In phytophagous insects, oviposition behaviour is an important component of habitat
selection and, given the multiplicity of genetic and environmental factors affecting its …

Insect flight is a complex trait involved in different behaviors, from the search for sexual
partners, food, or breeding sites. Many studies have postulated the adaptive advantages of …

摘要[目的] 探明拟果蝇Drosophila simulans 对不同寄主水果的行为选择及适应性.[方法]
利用四臂嗅觉仪等测定了拟果蝇对5 种水果(苹果, 红提, 香梨, 香蕉和杨梅) 的趋性与产卵选择性 …

Maternal decisions, like the choice of a site for laying eggs, have important ecological and
evolutionary implications. In the current study, we investigated variation both within and …

The preference–performance relationship in plant–insect interactions is a central theme in
evolutionary ecology. Among many insects, eggs are vulnerable and larvae have limited …

The fruit flies Drosophila simulans Sturtevant, 1919 and Drosophila melanogaster Meigen,
1830 are sibling species that occupy similar niches. However, unlike D. simulans, D …

Abstract Zaprionus indianus Gupta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) is a fly species native to the
Afrotropical biogeographic region that expanded its geographical distribution to the …

Several authors have called attention to the evolutionary importance of phenotypic plasticity
and niche construction, because such phenomena require a new status and a new …
