Geographic Expansion of an Invasive Fly: First Record of Zaprionus tuberculatus (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in the Americas

Fabio A. G. S. Cavalcanti et al.

Summary: The increase in global transport has led to the expansion of species adapted to human-altered environments, causing a decline or extinction of endemic species. This study reports the first occurrence of the Afrotropical fly Zaprionus tuberculatus Malloch in the Americas, with potential impacts on drosophilid communities. The invasive species was found in urban parks and natural reserves in the Brazilian Savanna, indicating a rise in its relative abundance and raising concerns about the diversity of drosophilids in the Neotropics.

Current and future potential global distribution of the invading species Drosophila nasuta (Diptera: Drosophilidae)

Ana Cristina Lauer Garcia et al.

Summary: Species distribution modelling has been used to predict the potential areas of invasion and guide management strategies. Drosophila nasuta, native to Asia, has rapidly spread to Africa, Indian and Pacific Islands, and recently, the Americas. Environmental variables, particularly those related to higher rainfall, have the greatest influence on its distribution. Future projections suggest a slight increase in its distribution, with Central and South America being areas of high invasion risk.

First Records of the Invading Species Drosophila Nasuta (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in the Amazon

Hermes Fonseca de Medeiros et al.

Summary: Invading species, such as the Asian fly Drosophila nasuta, pose a growing threat to biodiversity and economies in South America. This study reports the invasion of D. nasuta in the Amazon, the world's largest and most biodiverse tropical rainforest. The findings highlight the vulnerability of tropical forests to biological invasions.

Pest categorisation of Zaprionus indianus

Claude Bragard et al.

Summary: The article presents a pest categorisation of Zaprionus indianus, also known as the African fig fly, for the EU territory. It provides information on the species, its distribution, and the potential economic impact on fig and strawberry production in the EU. The article also discusses the available phytosanitary measures to reduce the likelihood of entry and further spread of this pest. The authors conclude that Z. indianus meets the criteria to be regarded as a potential Union quarantine pest.

Preliminary patterns of seasonal changes in species composition of surface-active arthropods in a South African savannah

Risuna Mavasa et al.

Summary: The composition of surface-active arthropods is influenced by seasonal variation in resource availability, with lower abundance and species richness of beetles and spiders in winter compared to summer. These results highlight the importance of temporal and dietary niche differentiation in driving the assemblage composition of surface-active arthropods.

Dariane Isabel Schneider et al.

Summary: This study investigated the richness, spatial-temporal distribution, and host associations of parasitoids attacking drosophilid flies in the Brazilian Savanna. Thirteen species of parasitoids representing different families were found, and their distribution followed that of drosophilids.

Invasion and Spreading of Drosophila nasuta (Diptera, Drosophilidae) in the Caatinga Biome, Brazil

Martin Alejandro Montes et al.

Summary: Biological invasions, such as the invasion of the Asian fruit fly into the Caatinga biome in Brazil, are a major cause of biodiversity loss globally. The success of Drosophila nasuta in colonizing this environment may be attributed to its preference for areas with arboreal vegetation and higher annual rainfall. The ability of this species to utilize different trophic resources also contributes to its successful invasion.

Drosophila sechellia: A Genetic Model for Behavioral Evolution and Neuroecology

Thomas O. Auer et al.

Summary: This article reviews the establishment of a genetic model for comparative behavioral analysis and neuroecology, focusing on the Drosophila sechellia. It describes the genetic approaches used to associate genotype/phenotype in these flies and outlines the behavioral, physiological, and morphological adaptations of D. sechellia, as well as the current understanding of the genetic and cellular basis of these traits. Finally, it discusses the principles established in the context of host specialization, speciation, and the neurobiology of behavioral evolution, along with open questions and challenges in the field.
