“…Both genera were formerly grouped within one single genus until Drew (1989) proposed to restrict Dacus to species with fused abdominal terga, while Bactrocera comprised species with unfused terga. The close phylogenetic relationship of the two genera is further supported by recent molecular phylogenetic studies based mainly on mitochondrial DNA data (Han and McPheron 1997;Smith et al 2003;Segura et al 2006;Han and Ro 2009). It should be noted that B. oleae is present in eastern and southern Africa, and that all its immediate relatives are of African origin (Ian White, personal communication).…”

The Ethiopian fruit fly, Dacus ciliatus, is an important pest of cucurbits, which recently invaded the Middle East. The genetics and cytogenetics of D. ciliatus have been scarcely studied. Such information is, however, an essential basis for understanding the biology of insect pests, as well as for the design of modern control strategies. We report here the mitotic karyotype and detailed photographic maps of the salivary gland polytene chromosomes of this species. The mitotic metaphase complement consists of six pairs of chromosomes, including one pair of heteromorphic sex (XX/XY) chromosomes. The heterogametic sex is ascribed to the male. The analysis of the salivary gland polytene complement shows a total number of five long chromosomes (10 polytene arms), which correspond to the five autosomes of the mitotic nuclei, and a heterochromatic mass corresponding to the sex chromosomes. Banding patterns, as well as the most characteristic features and prominent landmarks of each polytene chromosome are presented and discussed. Chromosomal homologies between D. ciliatus and Bactrocera oleae are proposed by comparing chromosome banding patterns and by in situ hybridization of the hsp70 gene.

“…Despite the fact that the NJ tree fits very well to both the morphological phylogenetic tree (Korneyev 2000) as well as the recent molecular ones (Han et al 2006, Han and Ro 2009) it is stressed here that this tree may not reflect the true phylogenetic tree, because running the data through a Maximum Parsimony (MP) and Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses result in different topologies.…”

A feasibility test of molecular identification of European fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) based on COI barcode sequences has been executed. A dataset containing 555 sequences of 135 ingroup species from three subfamilies and 42 genera and one single outgroup species has been analysed. 73.3% of all included species could be identified based on their COI barcode gene, based on similarity and distances. The low success rate is caused by singletons as well as some problematic groups: several species groups within the genus Terellia and especially the genus Urophora. With slightly more than 100 sequences – almost 20% of the total – this genus alone constitutes the larger part of the failure for molecular identification for this dataset. Deleting the singletons and Urophora results in a success-rate of 87.1% of all queries and 93.23% of the not discarded queries as correctly identified. Urophora is of special interest due to its economic importance as beneficial species for weed control, therefore it is desirable to have alternative markers for molecular identification.We demonstrate that the success of DNA barcoding for identification purposes strongly depends on the contents of the database used to BLAST against. Especially the necessity of including multiple specimens per species of geographically distinct populations and different ecologies for the understanding of the intra- versus interspecific variation is demonstrated. Furthermore thresholds and the distinction between true and false positives and negatives should not only be used to increase the reliability of the success of molecular identification but also to point out problematic groups, which should then be flagged in the reference database suggesting alternative methods for identification.

“…Sequences of Dolichopus brevipennis (Dolichopodidae), Sphaerophoria philanthus (Syrphidae), Chelipoda truncata (Empididae), Hypocera ehrmanni (Phoridae), and Lonchoptera furcata (Lonchopteridae) were used to root the tree (outgroup). Monophyly was constrained for superfamilies, families, sub‐families and genera in which there were recent and well‐supported, multi‐gene or morphological phylogenies for Schizophora: selected Acalyptratae superfamilies (Yeates & Wiegmann, ); Schizophora and Calyptratae (Lambkin et al ., ); Sarcophagidae (Kutty et al ., ; Pape et al ., ); Ravinia (Sarcophagidae) (Giroux et al ., ; Piwczynski et al ., ); Boettcheria (Sarcophagidae) (Piwczynski et al ., ); Luciliinae and Polleniinae (Calliphoridae) (Kutty et al ., ); Phytomyzinae (Agromyzidae) (Scheffer et al ., ); Scathophagidae (Bernasconi et al ., ); Milichiidae (Brake, ); Sciomyzidae, Sciomyzini, Tetanocerini (Tóthová et al ., ); Tephritidae (Han & Ro, ); Drosophilidae (Yassin, ); and Chloropinae (Chloropidae): Brake, ).…”

Tracking wetland community evolution using Diptera taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic structure

Different processes drive spatial variation in community composition. Standard measures of composition are useful in species‐based conservation and ecology, but they may be less informative in the context of evolutionary history and functional diversity. Functional and phylogenetic approaches are increasingly used to test mechanisms driving biodiversity patterns. We studied 28 families of flies (Diptera) with a range of functional characteristics in three wetland classes (bogs, swamps, marshes) in Quebec, Canada. We examined taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional structure of communities and assessed whether rarity is deterministic or stochastic. Beta‐ and phylobeta‐diversity were also examined for relatedness to local environmental conditions, patch area, and/or surrounding landscape. Phylogenetic community structure analyses had high value and complementarity to standard measures. Environmental filtering acted on bog communities during assembly, as they emerged from a slow peat accumulation process and the plant composition is characteristic as few species can survive in these acidic and low nutrient conditions. Subsequently, community assembly happened randomly. Neutral processes of community assembly are more important in marshes and swamps, as dispersal limitation explained species abundance dynamics of small and common Diptera species. The assembly of marsh communities is a balance between neutral processes and environmental filtering, while assembly in swamps can be seen as neutral. Clustering increased with environmental extremes, indicating environmental filtering. Rare species tended to be less closely related to common species. They have unique habitat requirements, and the high diversity is maintained by temporal turnover of species with similar traits filtered by the environment.
