Roger Butlin – a brief description of his scientific interests and activities Roger Butlin’s research interests concern the process of speciation, primarily from the point of view of the genetic mechanisms underlying the evolution of reproductive isolation. His PhD concerned the maintenance of a chromosomal polymorphism in the seaweed fly, Coelopa frigida. This initiated a long-standing interest in the impact of inversions and other recombination modifiers in evolution, and especially in speciation (1,2). After his PhD, Butlin worked with Godfrey Hewitt and Mike Ritchie on a hybrid zone in the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus. The primary focus of this project was on the enhancement of reproductive isolation by the process of reinforcement. Butlin’s early review of this topic (3) is still widely cited. The grasshopper work revealed no evidence for reinforcement (e.g. 4) and, more recently, has shown why it does not occur in this context, providing a rare example of the breakdown of Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities following secondary contact (5). Butlin retained an interest in hybrid zones and the power they provide to analyse reproductive isolation under natural conditions. His group described another hybrid zone in Chorthippus with a complex structure due to interactions with the environment (6,7) and with evidence of behavioural sterility (8). He also collaborates in a project using the famous Australia morabine grasshopper hybrid zones, originally described by MJD White, to study the role of chromosomal re-arrangements in speciation (e.g. 9). Butlin’s group was one of the first to use the population genomics approach to investigate the genomic architecture of local adaptation and speciation. Their first, AFLP-based study on Littorina saxatilis (10) has been very widely cited. They have followed it up with one of a very small number of sequence-level characterisations of an AFLP ‘outlier’ (11) and with one of the first transcriptome-based genome scans (12). The Littorina work has led to growing collaboration with Johannesson’s group, particularly exploiting the exciting opportunities to study parallel differentiation in the Littorina system (13). Another current thread in Butlin’s group is to combine the genome scan approach with analysis of large candidate gene families, especially chemosensory genes which are likely to include loci with key roles in reproductive isolation (14). This work began with studies of Drosophila in collaboration with Ritchie but is now focused on the complex of host races of the pea aphid (15). Butlin advocates a process-based view of speciation rather than one based on categorization of speciation modes (16,17). With Smadja, he has recently developed a novel framework for the analysis of speciation with gene flow (18). Butlin has always enjoyed collaboration. In addition to the projects mentioned above, he works with Savolainen on palm speciation, Ritchie and Hoikkala on Drosophila montana speciation, Martens and others on asexual reproduction in ostracods, Scholes on host-associated virulence in Striga, Snook and Gaston on adaptation to changing climate in D. subobscura, Altringham on bats, and Bridle on evolution at range margins. He has had continuous external funding from a range of sources (NERC, 1 BBSRC, Leverhulme, European Commission) since his first independent position in 1986. He is currently coordinator of the Marie Curie Initial Training Network ‘SPECIATION’, reflecting a long-standing commitment to graduate training. 1. Trickett A J & Butlin R K. 1994.

  • Kosuda, K. Viability of Drosophila
    Drosophila Information Service Number 99 December 2016 Prepared at the Department of Biology University of Oklahoma Norman, OK 73019 U.S.A. ii Dros. Inf. Serv. 99 (2016) Preface Drosophila Information Service (often called “DIS” by those in the field) 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 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. In particular, George Davis continued to assist in our transition to a more completely web-based publication format. 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.

    Diptera associated with fungi in the Czech and Slovak Republics Jan Ševčík Slezské zemské muzeum Opava D i p t e r a a s s o c i a t e d w i t h f u n g i i n t h e C z e c h a n d S l o v a k R e p u b l i c s Čas. Slez. Muz. Opava (A), 55, suppl.2: 1-84, 2006. Jan Ševčík A b s t r a c t: This work summarizes data on 188 species of Diptera belonging to 26 families reared by the author from 189 species of macrofungi and myxomycetes collected in the Czech and Slovak Republics in the years 1998 – 2006. Most species recorded belong to the family Mycetophilidae (84 species), followed by the families Phoridae (16 spp.), Drosophilidae (12 spp.), Cecidomyiidae (11 spp.), Bolitophilidae (9 spp.), Muscidae (8 spp.) and Platypezidae (8 spp.). The other families were represented by less than 5 species. For each species a list of hitherto known fungus hosts in the Czech and Slovak Republic is given, including the previous literature records. A systematic list of host fungi with associated insect species is also provided. A new species of Phoridae, Megaselia sevciki Disney sp. n., reared from the fungus Bovista pusilla, is described. First record of host fungus is given for Discobola parvispinula (Alexander, 1947), Mycetophila morosa Winnertz, 1863 and Trichonta icenica Edwards, 1925. Two species of Mycetophilidae, Mycetophila estonica Kurina, 1992 and Exechia lundstroemi Landrock, 1923, are for the first time recorded from the Czech Republic and two species, Allodia (B.) czernyi (Landrock, 1912) and Exechia repanda Johannsen, 1912, from Slovakia.

New data on the fruit flies (Drosophilidae) of Madeira archipelago with notes on the ecology of the endemic Drosophila madei- rensis Monclús. Arquipelago. Life and Marine Sciences 33: 13-19. The first findings of drosophilids from Desertas and Porto Santo islands (Madeira archipel- ago) are reported and the knowledge on the abundance and distribution of the endemic Drosophila madeirensis Monclús is updated. This Madeiran endemic was found associated with forest habitats, but was not exclusive of Laurisilva. Furthermore, the finding of wide- spread populations with moderate abundance indicates that presently this species is not en- dangered. Finally, we provide an updated checklist of the family Drosophilidae occurring in the Madeira archipelago.

  • Seventy Eight Insect Species Reared from Fungi in an Ancient, Semi-Natural Beech Woodland in the Chilterns R
    Seventy eight insect species reared from fungi in an ancient, semi-natural beech woodland in the Chilterns R. Fortey (RF) and P. J. Chandler (PJC) published online February 2021 Summary Seventy eight species of non-coleopteran fungivorous insects were raised from fungi collected from an ancient, semi-natural beech wood in the southern Chiltern Hills near Henley. This allows matching the host fungus with the insect species that develop from them. Although many fungivorous insects are polyphagous, others are not, and we have identified food sources for a number of flies that have been known for many years as adults without determining the fungi from which they develop. These include: Exechiopsis leptura, raised from Botryobasidium aureum; Mycetophila autumnalis raised from the bracket Postia; M. lamellata from Ceriporiopsis; M. unipunctata from the resupinate Physisporinus; Tarnania nemoralis from Clitocybe, and Lasiomma seminitidum from rotting Meripilus giganteus. M. unipunctata had been known for more than 200 years without a host being identified. A brief discussion is given of conservation issues around fungivorous insects, in recognition of their importance in the woodland ecosystem. Introduction Grim’s Dyke Wood is a small part of Lambridge Wood, an extensive tract dominated by mature beech trees and lying about a mile northwest of Henley-on-Thames. It was the subject of a detailed human and natural history published as The Wood for the Trees (Fortey 2016). Like many similar Chiltern woods it is underlain by clay-with- flints that cap the high ground, in turn overlying chalk that makes the dry valleys at lower elevations. For centuries, Lambridge Wood was part of the Grey’s Court estate (now National Trust) before being sold off in 1922.

  • Ref-Key Drosophila (Markow, O'grady, 2006).Pdf
    P473052-Prelims.qxd 10/1/05 5:18 PM Page vii Preface When you say “Drosophila” to most people, they think of Drosophila melanogaster, the laboratory workhorse that for nearly 100 years has been the premier genetic model system in biology. Many remember the smell of ether while handling flies in their undergraduate biology classes, while others recall curly wings and white eyes and Punnet squares. T. H. Morgan and his students C. Bridges, H. J. Muller, and A. H. Sturtevant pioneered the field of Drosophila genetics during the first half of the twentieth century. Their work has been carried on by countless “drosophilists” and, in some ways, culminated with the publication of the full genome sequence of Drosophila melanogaster in 2000. Now Drosophila biology is entering a new era. The genome of a second species, Drosophila pseudoobscura, has recently been completed and more are surely to come. Increasingly, when researchers state that they work on Drosophila they are met with the following question: “What species?” Scientists in the fields of ecology and evolu- tionary biology are beginning to co-opt various members of the genus Drosophila to serve as a model system for their own research, largely because of the ease of obtain- ing molecular markers from these species. As we were preparing this book for publi- cation, the National Human Genome Research Institute approved whole genome sequencing of 10 additional Drosophila species, and the creation of BAC libraries for 20. We feel that this initiative will invigorate Drosophila research for the next 100 years. The genus Drosophila represents an unprecedented model system not only for understanding genome evolution, but also for comparative experimental research.
