The Drosophila community in xerophytic vegetations of the upper Parana-Paraguay river basin

Abstract: The genus Drosophila is the most abundant in the Drosophilidae family. some species are endemic to certain regions and others are cosmopolitans. in Brazil, there are several ecosystems to explore regarding the composition and ecological aspects of Drosophila. xerophytic areas are an example. They can be found in the south and southeast of Brazil as islands, a result of paleoclimatic cycle changes. The aim of the present work is to provide information about the composition of the Drosophila community in eight x… Show more

“…In contrast, the typical forestdwelling species of the group were rare. Similarly, D. mediostriata, found both in savannas and gallery forests by TIDON (2006) and in xerophytic vegetation by MATEUS et al (2006), was by far the most abundant species of the tripunctata group, while its forest relatives were much rarer. Even in the willistoni group, the most common species in the mangroves were D. willistoni and D. paulistorum (willistoni subgroup), which, in spite of being more abundant in the forests (SAAVEDRA et al, 1995;TIDON, 2006), are still the most abundant of the group also in other environments (SILVA et al, 2005;TIDON, 2006).…”

“…Drosophila ornatifrons (also cited under its junior synonym, D. guarani Dobzhansky & Pavan, 1943) was formerly believed to be endemic to the Atlantic Forest biome of Brazil (SENE et al 1980). However, later on, it was collected in gallery forests, xerophitic enclaves, highland rocky fields and other transitional areas between the Atlantic Forest and adjacent biomes (ARAÚJO & VALENTE 1981, TIDON-SKLORZ et al 1994, VILELA & MORI 1997, MATEUS et al 2006, TIDON 2006. It was also recorded from Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador (RAFAEL & VELA 2000).…”

“…El género Drosophila es el más abundante dentro de la familia y comprende alrededor del 53 % del total de especies; de ellas algunas son endémicas otras subcosmopolitas y varias poseen una distribución cosmopolita (Mateus et al, 2006 …”
