1. Species of Drosophilidae are frequently used as model organisms, but their relationships
with the environment, particularly in immature stages, remain poorly known. 2. This is the …

Although studies on drosophilid (Diptera, Drosophilidae) assemblages have become
relatively abundant in the past decades, many environments remain to be searched. The …

The present study aims to characterise the assemblages of Drosophilidae sampled from four
sites subject to different levels of urbanisation, in the city of Florianópolis, South Brazil. Five …

Understanding patterns of ecological specialization, the processes underlying niche
partitioning and how they translate into the structure of interaction networks is a persistent …

Seasonality is an important aspect associated with population dynamic and structure of
tropical insect assemblages. This study evaluated the effects of seasonality on abundance …

Although members of Drosophilidae are frequently the topic of ecological studies in Brazil,
few have explored Restinga or, until only recently, Pampa biome environments. This study …

Drosophila Fallen, 1823 (Diptera, Drosophilidae) is for long a well-established model
organism for genetics and evolutionary research. The ecology of these flies, however, has …

Habitat fragmentation is the main cause of biodiversity loss, as remnant fragments are
exposed to negative influences that include edge effects, prevention of migration, declines in …

This study investigates the Drosophilidae species associated to fruiting bodies of fungi in
forested and anthropized environments of the Atlantic Rain Forest Biome, in south and …

In the last three decades some faunal surveys of Drosophilidae have been done in several
environments in the Neotropical region, especially in Brazil. But approximately 30 to 50% of …
