Drosophila melanogaster has been a canonical model organism to study genetics,
development, behavior, physiology, evolution, and population genetics for nearly a century …

The vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model for invertebrate development,
genetics, physiology, neuroscience, and disease. The whole family Drosophilidae, which …

In the 17 years since the last familywide taxonomic analysis of the Drosophilidae, many
studies dealing with a limited number of species or groups have been published. Most of …

Cuticle is the most important structure that protects mosquitoes and other insect species from
adverse environmental conditions and infections of microorganism. The physiology and …

The genus Drosophila is 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 …

We examined the utility for phylogenetic reconstruction of the second internal transcribed
spacer (ITS2), lying between the nuclear 5.8 S gene and the gene for large subunit …

Abstract The Hawaiian picture wing Drosophila are a striking example of adaptive radiation
in specialist saprophages on an island system. We use DNA sequences from five nuclear …

Colonisation of new geographic regions and/or of new ecological resources can result in
rapid species diversification into the new ecological niches available. Members of the …

Despite numerous phylogenetic studies on the family Drosophilidae, relationships among
some important lineages are still poorly resolved. An example is the equivocal position of …

The genus Drosophila has played an essential role in many biological studies during the
last 100 years but much controversy and many incompletely addressed issues still remain to …
