Drosophila (subgenus)
''Drosophila'' is a paraphyletic subgenus of the genus ''Drosophila'', a classification of fruit flies. This subgenus was first described by Alfred Sturtevant in 1939.Sturtevant, A. H. (1939)On the subdivision of the genus ''Drosophila'' ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America'' (often abbreviated ''PNAS'' or ''PNAS USA'') is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary scientific journal. It is the official journal of the National Academy of Scie ...''. 25, 137–141. Members of the subgenus ''Drosophila'' can be distinguished from other drosophilid species by breaks in the pigmentation along the dorsal section of their abdomen. Phylogeny Most species are within three major groups, the ''virilis-repleta'' radiation, the ''immigrans-tripunctata'' radiation and the Hawaiian ''Drosophila''. Additionally, several smaller species groups are recognized consisting ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Drosophila Immigrans
''Drosophila immigrans'' is a species of vinegar fly in the family Drosophilidae. ''Drosophila immigrans'' is a member of the Immigrans-tripunctata radiation of the subgenus Drosophila (subgenus), Drosophila. It is related to the ''Drosophila quinaria species group, Drosophila quinaria'' and ''Drosophila testacea species group, Drosophila testacea'' species groups, and the fellow Immigrans species group member ''Drosophila albomicans''. ''Drosophila immigrans'' has been used in evolutionary studies to understand how viruses evolve with their hosts.

Drosophila Peruviana Species Group
''Drosophila'' (), from Ancient Greek δρόσος (''drósos''), meaning "dew", and φίλος (''phílos''), meaning "loving", is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or pomace flies, vinegar flies, or wine flies, a reference to the characteristic of many species to linger around overripe or rotting fruit. They should not be confused with the Tephritidae, a related family, which are also called fruit flies (sometimes referred to as "true fruit flies"); tephritids feed primarily on unripe or ripe fruit, with many species being regarded as destructive agricultural pests, especially the Mediterranean fruit fly. One species of ''Drosophila'' in particular, ''Drosophila melanogaster'', has been heavily used in research in genetics and is a common model organism in developmental biology. The terms "fruit fly" and "''Drosophila''" are often used synonymously with ''D. melanogaster'' in modern biological literature. ...

Drosophila Cardini Species Group
The ''Drosophila cardini'' species group belongs to the subgenus Drosophila of vinegar flies in the Immigrans-tripunctata radiation of the subgenus Drosophila ''Drosophila'' (), from Ancient Greek δρόσος (''drósos''), meaning "dew", and φίλος (''phílos''), meaning "loving", is a genus of fly, belonging to the family Drosophilidae, whose members are often called "small fruit flies" or p .... The closest relatives of Cardini species include '' Drosophila bizonata'', '' Drosophila quinaria'', and '' Drosophila testacea'' species groups, comprising mushroom-feeding flies. Cardini group species likely derived their more general feeding ecology from a mushroom-feeding ancestor, an evolutionary transition in feeding similar to '' Drosophila quinaria''.
