I have found interesting paper on taxonomic position of Drosophila melanogaster http://www.nature.com/news/2010/100407/full/464825a.html I didn't know previously about such problems with D. melagoaster. For me this opinion of geneticists and their petition are strange. Do any of you know situation when International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has changed type species like in this case? Personally I think that commission did it right saving D. funebris as a type species. D. melanogaster is some kind of celebrity, as it was written, but taxonomic rules are more important I think.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
