Various types of cyanobacterial mats were predominant in a wetland, constructed for the remediation oil-polluted residual waters from an oil field desert south-eastern Arabian Peninsula, although such rarely found other wetland systems. There is scarce information on bacterial diversity, spatial distribution and oil-biodegradation capabilities freshwater mats. Microbial community analysis by Automated Ribosomal Spacer Analysis (ARISA) showed that different hosted distinct microbial...
Abstract Gephebase is a manually-curated database compiling our accumulated knowledge of the genes and mutations that underlie natural, domesticated experimental phenotypic variation in all Eukaryotes—mostly animals, plants yeasts. aims to compile studies where genotype–phenotype association (based on linkage mapping, mapping or candidate gene approach) relatively well supported. Human clinical traits aberrant mutant phenotypes laboratory organisms are not included can be found other...
Although Phragmites australis is commonly planted in constructed wetlands, very little known about its roots-associated bacterial communities, especially wetlands used for the remediation of oil produced waters. Here, we describe diversity, using molecular (illumina MiSeq sequencing) and cultivation techniques, rhizosphere soils P. from an oil-polluted wetland Oman. The obtained isolates were tested their plant-growth promoting properties. Most sequences belonged to Proteobacteria,...
Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) is an Asian pest of grapes and other soft fruits that has invaded North America Europe during the last decade. Here we report its recent occurrence on two islands Comoros archipelago in Mozambique Channel, namely Mayotte Ngazidja (Grande Comore), April 2017 November 2018, respectively. We also document absence from African Channel Western Indian Ocean including until 2013. ashburneriTsacas, 1984 only member species subgroup known Comoros, but it...
Animals can be permanently attached to a substrate in terrestrial environments at certain stages of their development. Pupa adhesion has evolved multiple times insects and is thought maintain the animal place where it not detectable by predators. Here, we investigate whether pupa Drosophila also protect preventing potential predators from detaching pupa. We measured species sampled same area found that varies among species, which explained different glue production strategies. Then, compared...
Speciation genes are responsible for genetic incompatibilities in hybrids of incipient species and therefore participate reproductive isolation leading to complete speciation. Hybrid males between Drosophila melanogaster females D. simulans die at late larval or prepupal stages due a failure chromosome condensation during mitosis. However mutant male simulans, named Lethal hybrid rescue (Lhr), produces viable when crossed melanogaster. Recently the Lhr gene has been proposed as corresponding...
Abstract Large volumes of produced water are generated as an associated co-product oil production in Oman and other countries; the management which often imposes a limitation on production. In many cases, portion this is re-injected into reservoirs to maintain pressure for wells. The remaining volume typically disposed shallow aquifers or via Deep Well Disposal (DWD) environmentally undesirable operationally energy intensive. Constructed wetlands represent alternative option treating have...
The characters used in taxonomy to describe new species cannot always be identify population surveys involving large samples. We DNA barcoding validate the taxonomic status of morphospecies an ecological study 11 000 individual African drosophilids which had been determined without dissection. Some information lost by not discriminating between rare or mistakenly splitting a morphologically variable into two groups. However, original dataset provided reliable picture diversity and...

SummaryThe Drosophilid fauna has been less investigated in the Atlantic Afrotropical islands than Indian Ocean. Located about 250 km from continent, volcanic island of São Tomé colonized mostly by natural means, probably wind, since emergence 15 million years ago, and presumably also anthropogenic transportation invasive domestic species. To date, 37 different species have mentioned Tomé. The present work extends this list to 80 genera Zygothrica, Phorticella Hypselothyrea are newly recorded...
During the early stages of local adaptation and speciation, genetic differences tend to accumulate at certain regions genome leading formation genomic islands divergence (GIDs). This pattern may be due selection and/or difference in rate recombination. Here, we investigate possible causes GIDs Drosophila yakuba mayottensis, reconfirm using field collection its association with toxic noni (Morinda citrifolia) fruits on Mayotte island. Population genomics revealed lack structure island...
Abstract This revision deals with the Zygothrica samoaensis species group, which includes 15 species, five of are described as new to science. Two synonymies proposed: Z. vietnamensis Grimaldi, 1990, a junior synonym flavofinira Takada, 1976, and britannia malaysiana 1990. The group is divided into three subgroups: (i) subgroup, consisting nine including australiaensis sp. nov.; (ii) fijiana subgroup two triscutellaris nov. bicornigera (iii) leptorostra pimacula quintamaculata Supplementary...
Nine species of the genus Phortica are found from Kenya, African, including two known and seven new species: (Allophortica) sexpunctata (Séguy, 1938), P. (Phortica) sobodo Burla, 1954, (P.) angulata sp. nov., curvispina machoruka manjano melanopous vinywelea nov. unispina The belong to foliiseta complex that is early Oriental Region.
