Journal of Economic Entomology, 2025
Invasive species pose significant ecological and economic threats globally. Zaprionus tuberculatus Malloch, a drosophilid fruit fly native to the Afrotropical region and Indian Ocean islands, is included in the pest list of the Center for Agriculture and Bioscience (CABI) because it uses fruit as breeding sites and can damage cultivated areas. This fly species extended its range across Europe in the late 20th century; in 2020, it was recorded in South America, and currently, it is widely distributed in Brazil. Here, we assess the potential spreading of Zaprionus tuberculatus in Central and North America based on 2 distinct origins of propagules: from South America and from Europe. To this end, we developed species distribution models using bioclimatic variables and elevation data to project potentially suitable habitats and infer invasion routes. In any case, our results indicate suitability for Z. tuberculatus colonization in Central and North America, including major fruit-producing areas in Central American countries and the United States (Florida and California). The rapid dispersal ability of Z. tuberculatus, coupled with its adaptability to diverse environments, underscores the urgency for proactive monitoring and control measures. Therefore, this study provides valuable insights for developing proactive measures to mitigate the spread of Z. tuberculatus and protect agricultural productivity in the Americas.

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2023

Drosophila mojavensis sonorensis inhabits the Sonora Desert and primarily uses cladodes of the columnar cactus Stenocereus thurberi (Engelm.) Buxb. as host (Pfeiler et al., 2009). However, when available, this subspecies also uses decomposing fruits of cacti of the genus Opuntia (L.) Mill. (known as tunas) as seasonal hosts (Mateus et al., 2019). Therefore, the objective of this study was to test the stressing effect of two semi-natural diets, one from the primary host (S. thurberi cladodes) and another from the seasonal host (Opuntia spp. tunas), on the development of D. m. sonorensis, using the level of asymmetry of the wings as an index of instability on the development due to the different composition of these diets. Three populations of D. m. sonorensis, Las Bocas, Nogales and Obregon from Sonora Desert in Mexico, were used in the experiments. Larvae of these populations were transferred to the semi-natural diets (10 replicates of 40 larvae for each diet and population). The composition of the diets, the volume used of the diets, and the maintenance conditions of larvae, as temperature, humidity and photoperiodicity, are described in Mateus et al. (2019). Right and left wings of up to 100 adults of each combination of sex x diet x population (totalizing approximately 1,200 flies) were removed, and twelve type I anatomic markers (Figure 1) were inserted in the dorsal region of each wing image (Rohlf, 2015). The level of wing shape asymmetry was determined by coordinates aligned of Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA, Marchand et al., 2003; Lima et al., 2016) as dependent variables in a Procrustes ANOVA, performed using MorphoJ 1.06d (Klingenberg, 2011) and R 3.3.0 (R Development Core Team, 2016) softwares. In this analysis, the individual factor corresponds to the individual variation of shape, and the side factor (right and left) corresponds to directional asymmetry (DA); the interaction between side and individual corresponds to fluctuating asymmetry (FA); and the residue is the error measure, which corresponds to the marking repetitions. Antisymmetry (AS) in the wing shape was analyzed through dispersion charts of the difference between the right and left side of each marker (Palmer, 1994; Klingenberg and McIntyre, 1998; Palmer and Strobeck, 2003). Procrustes distance between right and left wings of each individual was used as the level of individual net asymmetry NAi (fluctuating + directional) and the global population asymmetry was estimated by the average of the NAi in each population (Marchand et al., 2003). The Procrustes ANOVA results showed that both semi-natural diets caused instability in the development (Table 1), mostly because of Las Bocas males (Mann-Whitney U = 5,859, p < 0.05), with the higher proportion of asymmetry being related to FA (Figure 2). There are two possible reasons for these results. First, the diets were not stressful enough as there was no difference in the asymmetry levels between diets and the response of the three populations were similar (excepted in Las Bocas males; see Figure 2). Similar results were already shown in other works that found that the host cactus could exert similar influence in the viability and life history of organisms of different species (Soto et al., 2007, 2008). Costa et al. (2015), in a study on the geographical distribution of D. antonietae Tidon-Sklorz & Sene, 2001, found that despite a variation in the net asymmetry between populations, these presented equivalent levels of fluctuating asymmetry, which were also related with similar responses given by populations when submitted to the same level of stress. Second, selective pressures exerted by the cladodes and tunas differ along the larval development of the flies, causing a trade-off between the characteristics of life history and diet quality, producing similar levels of stress. Mateus et al. (2019) analyzed development time, dry weight, and viability in the same populations used in this study, and found that tunas and cladodes influenced the organisms in different manners. The individuals in the tuna diet had a development time shorter than the individuals in the cladodes diet. Besides that, the dry weight of the adults and viability larva-pupae were greater in the tuna diet, while in the cladodes diet, the total viability and the viability pupa-adult were greater than in the tuna Asymmetry of the wing in Drosophila mojavensis sonorensis Castrezana in Pfeiler et al., 2009 (Diptera, Drosophilidae): main versus seasonal host

Molecular data reveal a complex population genetic structure for Psalidodon scabripinnis (Teleostei: Characidae) in the Atlantic Rainforest, Brazil
Daniel Meneguello Limeira, Mateus Henrique Santos, Rogério Pincela Mateus, Claudete de Fátima Ruas, Mara Cristina de Almeida, et al.
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2022
Recently renamed, Psalidodon scabripinnis populations of Serra da Mantiqueira, previously known as Astyanax scabripinnis have been deeply studied in the last years. These populations are small and isolated and occur very close to the watershed between Paraíba do Sul River basin and Upper Paraná River basin, in Serra da Mantiqueira region in the Atlantic Rainforest. These conditions arouse the interest in knowing theor genetic conservation status and how they responded to the separation between the two rivers basins. Therefore, we accessed the genetic diversity of five P. scabripinnis populations of this region with microsatellites and mitochondrial data. The results showed a complex structure pattern that doesn’t match the simple basin separation and a reasonably conservation status when compared with other populations of the same family or with similar natural history.
Plastic Variation in the Phyletic Lineages of Cactophilic Drosophila meridionalis and Relation to Hosts as Potential for Diversification

Neotropical Entomology, 2021
The insect/plant interaction is known to be a trigger for diversification and even speciation. Experimental analyses on fitness traits and phenotypic variation using alternative host sites have been performed to understand the process of diversification relative to insect/plant interactions. For cactophilic species of Drosophila, the speciation process is considered an adaptive radiation in response to the exploration of species of the Cactaceae as breeding and feeding sites. In this work, we analyzed life history and morphological traits in individuals from two phyletic lineages (Evolutionarily Significant Units ESU) of the cactophilic species Drosophila meridionalis (Wasserman 1962) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) raised from media prepare. The characters analyzed corresponded to viability, developmental time, and four morphological measurements. The experiments were performed in a semi-natural medium prepared with fermenting tissues of the natural hosts, Cereus hildmaniannus and Opuntia monacantha. Viability, development time, and three morphological measurements were influenced by lineage, suggesting differentiation between the lineages. However, in O. monacantha, the mean viability was greater (~15%) and development time was longer (~336 h) than in C. hildmaniannus (~11% and ~301 h, respectively). Only the developmental time was significantly affected by the host cactus. In general, ESU group A had better values than ESU group BC for the evaluated traits. This finding suggested differentiation between the two lineages and different plastic responsiveness to the contrasting environments of the hosts, and that C. hildmaniannus may be a relatively stressful environment for the larvae, as for other Drosophila species.
Moderate population structure in drosophila sturtevanti from the south american atlantic forest biome
B. M. Trava, R. P. Mateus, L. P. B. Machado, L. Madi-Ravazzi
Zoological Studies, 2021
Drosophila sturtevanti is a widely distributed Neotropical species. In South America, it is abundant and adapted to different phytophysiognomies of the Atlantic Forest biome. Reproductive, chromosomal and enzymatic studies have indicated the existence of a differentiation among D. sturtevanti populations. In this work, the level of genetic diversity and the population genetic structure were analyzed using four population groupings. One hundred and twenty-six D. sturtevanti males collected from nine forest fragments were analyzed for 11 species-specific microsatellite loci. A total of 109 alleles, ranging from 2 to 16 alleles per locus, were detected. The highest mean observed heterozygosity -H O was estimated in samples from the largest collection areas, and the lowest H O was from a population where fire events are common. A low molecular variation, around 3% among populations and negative among groups, an absence of genetic and geographic correlations and a moderate genetic differentiation -F ST = 0.0663 -indicated that D. sturtevanti is not strongly structured. Besides no overall genetic and geographic distance correlation, the pair of closest geographically populations Matão and Nova Granada showed the lower differentiation through F ST, DC and a Neighbor Joining tree. Ribeirão da Ilha -RDI, an isolated insular population, was the most differentiated according to F ST, DC and a cluster-based Bayesian analysis. The isolation of RDI that resulted in significant divergence could be ancient, because of sea level regressions/transgressions, or more recently via founder effect/genetic drift by anthropic action carrying D. sturtevanti hosts from continent to island. This work is important for understanding the genetic variability distribution of a Neotropical forest-dwelling Drosophila species using for the first time, a wide population distribution approach.
Developmental and Transcriptomal Responses to Seasonal Dietary Shifts in the Cactophilic Drosophila mojavensis of North America
Rogerio Pincela Mateus, Nestor O Nazario-Yepiz, Enrique Ibarra-Laclette, Mariana Ramirez Loustalot-Laclette, Therese Ann Markow
Journal of Heredity, 2019
Drosophila mojavensis normally breeds in necrotic columnar cactus, but they also feed and breed in Opuntia fruit (prickly pear) which serves as a seasonal resource. The prickly pear fruits (PPFs) are much different chemically from cacti, mainly in their free sugars and lipid content, raising the question of the effects of this seasonal shift on fitness and on gene expression. Here we reared 3 isofemale strains of D. mojavensis collected from different parts of the species' range on semi-natural medium of either cactus or PPF and measured the development time, survival, body weights, and desiccation resistance. All these parameters were affected by diet and by interaction with strain and or sex. Interestingly, however, there appear to be tradeoffs: flies developed faster in prickly pear and the emerging adults were heavier, but those having grown in cactus were more resistant to desiccation. We also evaluated the gene expression of emerging male and female adult flies using RNA-Seq. While more genes were down-regulated in PPF than up-regulated in both sexes, the sexes did differ in expression patterns. The majority of the genes that were preferentially expressed comparing PPF versus cactus underlie metabolism. Genes involved with carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, as well as with the amino acid serine, and their relationship to growth and development reflect the ways in which these dietary differences affect the flies.
