Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological and cytogenetic studies of drosophila flavopilosa, a neotropical species living in cestrum flowers.
TL;DR: Analysis of larval samples collected directly in their natural breeding sites has demonstrated that the populations of D. flavopilosa are polymorphic for the gene arrangements in their chromosomes, and that the frequencies of certain heterokaryotypes vary according to the geographic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of larval biotic residues on viability in four species of drosophila.
Myriam Budnik,Danko Brncic +1 more
TL;DR: Each genotype releases biotic wastes that alter the food medium in which the larvae grow, thus affecting differentially the survival and development of the larvae under competitive conditions (see Parsons, 1973, for review).
Journal ArticleDOI
The mesophragmatica group of species of drosophila
TL;DR: The present article reports the results of a study of the evolutionary status of a cluster of related species, which may be called the 1esophragmatica species group from the oldest described species Drosophila mnesophragrnatica Duda.
Book ChapterDOI
Studies on the Evolutionary Biology of Chilean Species of Drosophila
TL;DR: The Andean areas of Chile and Argentina, south of the lake region down to the southern tip of the Hemisphere, constitute a Zoogeographic region which is separated from the rest of South America by the cold and arid barrier of the Patagonian “pampa.”
Journal ArticleDOI
Preadult Competition between Drosophila Pavani and Drosophila Melanogaster, Drosophila Simulans, and Drosophila Willistoni
Myriam Budnik,Danko Brncic +1 more
TL;DR: When the Chilean endemic species Drosophila pavani compete during the pre- adult stage on a limited amount of food with D. willistoni, developmental periods were significantly retarded, but egg-to-adult viability decreased only in the presence of D. melanogaster, indicating that the metabolic waste products of the first species probably interferes with the development of the second.
