Drosophila Information Service Drosophila Information Service Number 92 December 2009 Prepared at the Department of Zoology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii DIS 92 (December 2009) Preface Drosophila Information Service celebrates its 75th birthday with this issue. DIS was first printed in March, 1934. Material contributed by Drosophila workers was arranged by C.B. Bridges and M. Demerec. As noted in its preface, which is reprinted in DIS 75 (1994), Drosophila Information Service was undertaken because, “An appreciable share of credit for the fine accomplishments in Drosophila genetics is due to the broadmindedness of the original Drosophila workers who established the policy of a free exchange of material and information among all actively interested in Drosophila research. This policy has proved to be a great stimulus for the use of Drosophila material in genetic research and is directly responsible for many important contributions.” During the 75 years since that first issue, DIS has continued to promote open communication. The production of DIS volume 92 could not have been completed without the generous efforts of many people. Robbie Stinchcomb, Carol Baylor, and Clay Hallman maintained key records and helped distribute copies and respond to questions. Carol Baylor was also especially helpful in generating pdf copies of early articles in response to many dozens of individual researcher “reprint” requests. Beginning with volume 84 (2001), the official annual publication date is 31 December, with the contents including all submissions accepted during the calendar year. New issues are available for free access on our web page (www.ou.edu/journals/dis) soon after publication, and earlier issues are being archived on this site as resources permit. We continue to encourage all researchers to consider submitting articles that use Drosophila for teaching as well as articles that report new techniques, research results, and interesting new mutations. In the interests of honoring the long-standing philosophy of open exchange of ideas, we sometimes accept articles that have unusual perspectives. We thank the many contributors from around the world who sent material for this issue, and we invite your submissions as well as any suggestions you have for maintaining this as a useful Drosophila research community resource.

D. guayllabambae seems to be a strictly mountainous species of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes.

  • Comparison of Baits for Monitoring the Spotted Wing Drosophila, Drosophila Suzukii
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Joseph R. Kleiber for the degree of Master of Science in Horticulture presented on June 6, 2013 Title: Comparison of Baits for Monitoring the Spotted Wing Drosophila, Drosophila suzukii Abstract approved: Denny J. Bruck Spotted wing Drosophila (SWD), Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is a pest of small and stone fruits that is widely distributed across much of the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia. Unlike other members of the Drosophilidae that only lay eggs in overripe or rotting fruit, SWD infest ripening and ripe fruit. The female SWD has a serrated ovipositor that allows her to lay eggs under the skin of a wide range of fruits, where the eggs hatch into larvae and they consume the inside of the fruit. This feeding results in fruit collapse and deterioration, and the hole created by the oviposition puncture allows for secondary infection by microorganisms, yield losses, reduced fruit quality and degrades. The current control is to apply an insecticide treatment when the fruit begins to color and continue to keep the crop protected with chemical treatments until harvest is complete. The current monitoring tools are not sensitive enough to attract SWD at the critical time to establish economic thresholds, appropriately time treatments and allow growers to make good management decisions. The objective of this research project was to determine if a more sensitive attractant than the currently standard 5% acidity apple cider vinegar traps could be defined. A number of food products and commercially available lures were tested in greenhouse and field experiments for their attractiveness to D.

Shared senior authors and corresponding authors. y Received: 13 November 2019; Accepted: 10 December 2019; Published: 15 December 2019 Abstract: Sustainable pest control requires a systems approach, based on a thorough ecological understanding of an agro-ecosystem. Such fundamental understanding provides a basis for developing strategies to manipulate the pest’s behaviour, distribution, and population dynamics, to be employed for crop protection. This review focuses on the fundamental knowledge required for the development of an effective push-pull approach. Push-pull is a strategy to repel a pest from a crop, while attracting it toward an external location. It often relies on infochemicals (e.g., pheromones or allelochemicals) that are relevant in the ecology of the pest insect and can be exploited as lure or repellent. Importantly, responsiveness of insects to infochemicals is dependent on both the insect’s internal physiological state and external environmental conditions. This context-dependency reflects the integration of cues from different sensory modalities, the effect of mating and/or feeding status, as well as diurnal or seasonal rhythms. Furthermore, when the costs of responding to an infochemical outweigh the benefits, resistance can rapidly evolve.

We explore the influence of each gene region on the support given to each node of the most parsimonious tree derived from a combined analysis of all three genes using Partitioned Bremer Support. We also explore the influence of assuming equal weights for all characters in the combined analysis by investigating the stability of clades to different transition/transversion weighting schemes. We find many strongly supported and stable clades in the Nymphalinae. We are also able to identify ‘rogue’

Em decorrência do constante diálogo entre os diversos laboratórios, os encontros têm sido muito produtivos para a discussão de problemas e consolidação de colaborações. Tendo em vista que as moscas do gênero Drosophila são excelentes modelos para estudos em diversas áreas (provavelmente os organismos eucariotos mais investigados pela Ciência), essas parcerias podem contribuir também para o desenvolvimento de áreas aplicadas, como a Biologia da Conservação e o controle biológico da dengue.
