资源简介:

Found around the world, drosophila is a genus of small, familiar flies within the family Drosophilidae (Order: Diptera) commonly known as fruit flies. Despite their common name, drosophila feed on the microbiota found on rotting or fermenting fruits and not the fruit itself, leading to their association with these substrates. This distinguishes them from true fruit flies in the family Tephritidae which actually feed on the fruit. Less common names include pomace, wine or vinegar flies, all of which involve fermenting fruits. Drosophila melanogaster, the poster-child for the genus, is a valuable model organism in genetics and developmental biology and has become synonymous with the term "fruit fly" in the literature. Despite the widespread appeal of this species, there are actually more than 1,500 species of drosophila with diverse morphologies and behaviors. Wing patterns, courtship behaviors and oviposition mediums are commonly used to distinguish between species. Drosophila suzukii, which has a highly sclerotized ovipositor, can utilize younger fruits making them a major agricultural pest in many parts of the world. Please help the UHIM transcribe this selection of invasive drosophila specimens collected on, but not native to, the Hawaiian Islands! The total number of tasks for this dataset is: 517, number transcribed is 517 and number validated is 0.

果蝇属(Drosophila)是一类分布于全球的小型常见蝇类,隶属于双翅目(Diptera)果蝇科(Drosophilidae),通常被称为果蝇。尽管其俗名为果蝇,但该属昆虫并非取食果实本身,而是以腐烂或发酵果实上的微生物群为食,这也使得它们与这类基质紧密关联。这一特征将其与实蝇科(Tephritidae)的真正实蝇区分开来,后者确实以果实为食。其他较罕见的俗名包括果渣蝇、酒蝇或醋蝇,这些名称均与发酵果实相关。黑腹果蝇(Drosophila melanogaster)是该属的标志性物种,作为遗传学与发育生物学领域极具价值的模式生物,在学术文献中已成为“果蝇”这一术语的代名词。尽管该物种广为人知,但果蝇属实则包含超过1500个物种,其形态与行为均呈现丰富多样性。研究人员通常通过翅纹、求偶行为以及产卵基质来区分不同物种。斑翅果蝇(Drosophila suzukii)具有高度硬化的产卵器,可侵染幼嫩果实,因此在全球多数地区成为重大农业害虫。请协助夏威夷大学昆虫博物馆(UHIM)对采集自夏威夷群岛但并非该群岛本土的入侵性果蝇标本进行转录标注。本数据集的总任务量为517项,已完成转录的标本数为517,已验证的标本数为0。
