Drosophila erecta occurs in swampy and coastal habitats of western-central Africa, and uses fresh Pandanus spp. fruits as a food source and breeding site. Its closest relative, Drosophila orena (known from a single collection event on Mount Lefo, Cameroon), has an unknown ecology.

Here we aim to shed light on the establishment of host defenses against an invading TE, by monitoring P-element invasions in experimentally evolving populations of Drosophila erecta. Results P-element invasion in D. erecta

Dec 17, 2018 · Drosophila melanogaster is a human commensal and dietary generalist. A new study in its ancestral range in Africa finds that wild Drosophila melanogaster are specialists on marula fruit — fruits cached in caves by Pleistocene humans.

Apr 17, 2013 · In comparison with three sympatric sibling species, D. erecta shows specific alterations in its olfactory system towards detection and processing of a characteristic Pandanus volatile (3-methyl-2-butenyl acetate, 3M2BA).

Drosophila erecta is a West African fruitfly, and was one of 12 fruitfly genomes sequenced for a large comparative study [1]. Ensembl Genomes imports data from FlyBase, who also have more information about the biology of Drosophila erecta, and …

Classification and research data for Drosophila erecta, a species of fly in the family Drosophilidae (pomace flies)..

In this report, I will be annotating all important genes as well as verifying any major repeats that occur within this fosmid. Through annotation analysis, three genes were verified to be located within this fosmid: CG7140, TyrR, and CG14561. Figure 1 shows a final map of fosmid14, noting all genes annotated and showing synteny with D. mel.

Jan 18, 2016 · We investigate a potential case of sexual mimicry in Drosophila erecta, in which females show contrasting resemblance to males. We map the genetic basis of this sex-limited colour dimorphism to...
