Kosuda, K. Viability of Drosophila Melanogaster Female Flies Carrying Melanotic Tumours Drosophila Information Service Number 102 December 2019 Prepared at the Department of Biology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii Dros. Inf. Serv. 102 (2019) Preface Drosophila Information Service (often called “DIS” by those in the field) was first printed in March, 1934. For those first issues, material contributed by Drosophila workers was arranged by C.B. Bridges and M. Demerec. As noted in its preface, which is reprinted in Dros. Inf. Serv. 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.” Since that first issue, DIS has continued to promote open communication. The production of this volume of DIS could not have been completed without the generous efforts of many people. Except for the special issues that contained mutant and stock information now provided in detail by FlyBase and similar material in the annual volumes, all issues are now freely-accessible from our web site: www.ou.edu/journals/dis. For early issues that only exist as aging typed or mimeographed copies, some notes and announcements have not yet been fully brought on line. But we intend to fill in those gaps for historical purposes in the future. If you would pdf copies of material missing from the on-line issues, please contact Jim Thompson. 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 or limited perspectives. We thank the many contributors from around the world who sent material for this issue, and we invite your submissions for future annual issues as well as any suggestions you have for maintaining this as a useful Drosophila research community resource.

Inf. Serv. 102 (2019) Dros. Inf. Serv. 102 (2019) 1 Research Notes Lithium and caffeine interact to alter circadian activity rhythms in Drosophila melanogaster. Li, M., S. Wilensky, and B. Possidente. Biology Department, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, NY 12866 USA; email: [email protected]. Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a psychiatric disorder associated with disrupted rest/activity cycles and cyclical expression of symptoms, hence circadian clock function has been investigated as a mechanism underlying bipolar cycles of mania and depression (Logan and McClung, 2016). Lithium is a focal point of research on BPD since it is a widely used treatment (Sawai et al., 2019). Drugs that interact with lithium, therefore, are of interest because they may alter lithium’s therapeutic effects, and BPD patients have high rates of substance use disorder comorbidity (Nascimento et al., 2015). An increase in manic episodes and suicide risk has been associated with coffee consumption in bipolar patients on lithium (Baethge et al., 2009), though caffeine is generally associated with positive effects on health (Poole et al., 2017). While studies of lithium's effects on circadian rhythmicity have been conducted using mice as a model (e.g., Li et al., 2012; Nascimento et al., 2015; Logan and McClung, 2016), few studies have used Drosophila (Dokucu et al., 2005; Padiath et al., 2009). Drosophila melanogaster has great potential to be used as a model system for studying mechanisms mediating drug interactions because of its short life cycle, high efficiency and convenience in vivo, low cost, and extensive homology with the human genome (Mackay and Anholt, 2006). Padiath et al. (2004) and Dokucu et al. (2005) showed that lithium lengthens the free-running circadian period in male Drosophila, and caffeine has been shown to lengthen circadian clock period in Drosophila (Wu et al., 2009) and in mice (Oike et al., 2011). We present evidence that lithium and caffeine interact to alter the distribution of circadian locomotor activity between the light and dark phases of a 12:12 LD photoperiod in both male and female fruit flies. Male and female Drosophila melanogaster from wild type strain Oregon-R were obtained from Carolina Biological Supply (Burlington, North Carolina, USA) and maintained at Skidmore College for 37 years. Four males and four females were placed in each of 20 plastic vials (65 mm long and 23.5 mm diameter) with Carolina Instant Drosophila Medium (Carolina Biological Supply) and incubated at 25°C in a 12:12 LD photoperiod.

These new viruses are poorly characterized and new approaches are needed predict the host species these viruses pose a risk to. The rhabdoviruses are a diverse family of RNA viruses that includes important pathogens of humans, animals, and plants. We have discovered thirty-two new rhabdoviruses through a combination of our own RNA sequencing of insects and searching public sequence databases. Combining these with previously known sequences we reconstructed the phylogeny of 195 rhabdovirus by guest on December 14, 2015 sequences, and produced the most in depth analysis of the family to date. In most cases we know nothing about the biology of the viruses beyond the host they were identified from, but our dataset provides a powerful phylogenetic approach to predict which are vector-borne viruses and which are specific to vertebrates or arthropods.

Schmitz1 and Vera L. S. Valente2 1 Universidade Federal da Integração-Latino-Americana, Foz do Iguaçu, PR, Brazil; [email protected] 2 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Genética e Biologia Molecular, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil; [email protected] Abstract Diptera is a megadiverse order, reaching its peak of diversity in Neotropics, although our knowledge of dipteran fauna of this region is grossly deficient. This applies even for the most studied families, as Drosophilidae. Despite its position of evidence, most aspects of the biology of these insects are still poorly understood, especially those linked to natural communities. Field studies on drosophilids are highly biased to fruit-breeders species. Flower-breeding drosophilids, however, are worldwide distributed, especially in tropical regions, although being mostly neglected. The present paper shows results of a biodiversity inventory of flower-breeding drosophilids carried out in Brazil, based on samples of 125 plant species, from 47 families. Drosophilids were found in flowers of 56 plant species, of 18 families. The fauna discovered showed to be highly unknown, comprising 28 species, 12 of them (>40%) still undescribed.

An annotated list of the 32 immigrant species of Drosophilidae established in Hawaii is provided, with the earliest confirmed year of detection for each species. Key words: Drosophilidae, Hawaii, Distribution The family Drosophilidae consists of 3950 valid species (Brake and Bächli 2008). With 559 endemic species (O’Grady et al. 2009), and an estimated 900-1000 in total, the Hawai- ian Islands have the highest regional drosophilid species diversity globally. Five species of immigrant Drosophilidae were listed as occurring in Hawaii by early authors (Sturtevant 1921, Bryan 1934), but most of these records were later shown to be misidentifications. Zimmerman (1943) was the first to document thoroughly the immigrant Hawaiian drosophilid fauna, based on available material in collections and field surveying. He pointed out that the species of Drosophila recorded in early literature as D.
