Species distribution modelling (SDM), also known as environmental (or ecological) niche modelling (ENM), habitat modelling, predictive habitat distribution modelling, and range mapping [1] uses ecological models to predict the distribution of a species across geographic space and time using environmental data. The environmental data are most ...
Drosophila (/ d r ə ˈ s ɒ f ɪ l ə, d r ɒ-, d r oʊ-/ [1] [2]) 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.
Drosophila melanogaster is a species of fly (an insect of the order Diptera) in the family Drosophilidae. The species is often referred to as the fruit fly or lesser fruit fly , or less commonly the " vinegar fly", " pomace fly", [ a ] [ 5 ] or " banana fly". [ 6 ]
Geographical distributions of Hawaiian Drosophila species and their host plants (e.g. Cyanea) have been studied to understand evolutionary radiations on islands. Hawaiian Drosophila have been studied as models of speciation, population genetics and genomics, as well as for evolution of behavior and evolutionary development (aka evo-devo). [1]
Drosophila is a genus of flies of the family Drosophilidae. It comprises over 1600 described species, [ 1 ] [ 2 ] but is estimated to have several thousands. [ 3 ] Alfred Sturtevant divided Drosophila into a number of subgenera , including Drosophila , Sophophora , and Dorsilopha .
A species of Drosophila mating via male mounting onto the female from behind. D. subobscura is monandrous, a behavior not usually seen among Drosophila. [28] Visual stimuli dictate courtship behavior. [29] D. subobscura do not mate in the dark [30] and do not produce a courtship song via wing vibrations like other species of Dipterans. [31]
Drosophila ananassae is a species of fruit fly that is a useful model organism for genetic studies because it is easily cultured in the laboratory, and was one of 12 fruitfly genomes sequenced for a large comparative study. [1] Drosophila ananassae - Female
Drosophila montana, colloquially referred to as a fruit fly, [1] is a species of fly belonging to the family Drosophilidae and the genus Drosophila. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It belongs to the montana phylad, which diverged from the D. virilis species group in South Asia before its migration into North America. [ 3 ]
