Microsatellite allele sequencing in population analyses of the South American cactophilic species Drosophila antonietae (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010)
Drosophila antonietae belongs to the Drosophila buzzatii cluster, a cactophilic group of species naturally endemic to South America. Morphological and genetic analyses indicate that its populations are the most homogenous ...
Cactus-fungi interactions mediate host preference in cactophilic Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-11)
The cactophilic flies Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila koepferae are generally each associated with a different host cactus, although resource sharing can occur in regions of sympatry. Host choice has been shown to affect ...
Phenotypic plasticity in Drosophila cactophilic species: the effect of competition, density, and breeding sites
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-08)
Changes in the environmental conditions experienced by naturally occurring populations are frequently accompanied by changes in adaptive traits allowing the organism to cope with environmental unpredictability. Phenotypic ...
Oviposition and performance in natural hosts in cactophilic Drosophila
(Springer, 2012-07)
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 species, with partially overlapping ...
A comparative study of competitive ability between two cactophilic species in their natural hosts
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2008-12)
Competition is a major aspect of the ecology of insect communities exploiting ephemeral and fragmented resources.We analysed the effect of intraspecific (single species culture) and interspecific (mixed species culture) ...
First Record of Drosophila buzzatii (Patterson & Wheeler) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Emerging from a Non-Cactus Host
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2016-06)
Drosophila buzzatii (Patterson & Wheeler), a typical cactophilic species of the repleta group, is registered for the first time emerging from Melon (Cucumis melo) in western Argentina. The analysis of inversion polymorphism ...
Genomics of Ecological Adaptation in Cactophilic Drosophila
(Oxford Journals, 2016)
Aedeagal Divergence in Sympatric Populations of Two Sibling Species of Cactophilic Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae): Evidence of Character Displacement?
(Sociedade Entomológica do Brasil, 2012-06)
Aedeagal morphology of two sibling cactophilic species, Drosophila buzzatii Patterson & Wheeler and Drosophila koepferae Fontdevila & Wasserman, was analyzed in nine allopatric and three sympatric locations throughout South ...
