Journal ArticleDOI
Stable structural color patterns displayed on transparent insect wings.
TL;DR: Striking and stable structural color patterns—wing interference patterns (WIPs)—in the transparent wings of small Hymenoptera and Diptera are reported, suggesting that the biological significance of WIPs lies in visual signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sexual selection on wing interference patterns in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: First experimental evidence that WIPs in males of Drosophila melanogaster are targets of mate choice from females are presented, and that two different color traits—saturation and hue—experience directional and stabilizing sexual selection, respectively are presented.
Journal Article
Annotated checklist of fungus gnats from Sweden (Diptera: Bolitophilidae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae).
TL;DR: The first modern Swedish checklist of fungus gnats of the families Bolitophil Families, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae and Mycetophilidae is presented and three species names are reinstated to preserve nomenclatural stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diptera in mines and other cave systems in southern Norway
TL;DR: Seasonal occurrence and sex-ratios reflect different life cycle strategies and seasonal adaptations among the habitual trogloxenes: hibernators, (Mycetophilidae, Culicidae), aestivators, species which seek cave systems independent of sex and season, and opportunists (Chironomidae, Phoridae?, Dixidae?).
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of fungus gnats in the genus Tarnania Tuomikoksi, with a phylogeny of the Rymosia s.l. genus group (Diptera : Mycetophilidae)
TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of the Tarnania species, including representatives of the six other genera of the Rymosia s.
