Spore dispersal of Dictyophora fungi (Phallaceae) by flies
@article{Tuno1998SporeDO, title={Spore dispersal of Dictyophora fungi (Phallaceae) by flies}, author={Nobuko Tuno}, journal={Ecological Research}, year={1998}, volume={13}, pages={7-15} }
The composition and food habits of insects visiting fungi of two Dictyophora species, D. indusiata(Vent. & Pers.) and D. duplicata Fisch, were examined in Furano, northern Japan, and in Kyoto, central Japan. As well as field work being carried out, the quantity and the viability of spores in the recta of drosophilid and muscid flies were examined in vitro. Although the composition of insects varied locally and temporally, most of the insects were observed to feed on gleba, which contains spores…

Nocturnal earwigs and diurnal flies probably play important roles in dispersal of L. mokusin spores, and dispersal via feces may be an important common dispersal mechanism for fungal reproductive tissue.

Insects visiting sporocarps of Elfvingia applanata, a wood-rotting bracket fungus, were examined in Kyoto, central Japan and it is suggested that Mycodrosophila flies may act as spore-dispersal agents for E. Applanata.

It is suggested that adult drosophilid flies, but not other dipterans, can transport fungal spores, although a greater number of colorless spores generally damaged than colored ones.

- Biology

The present study aims to study as many ambrosia fungi as possible in pure culture and study the factors and mechanisms involved in perpetuation of symbiosis between the beetle and the fungus, and to study the possible role of ambrosian beetles as vectors of non-ambrosia fungus.
Bleeding Sap Preference of the Drosophilid Flies
- Biology
- 1962
The present study has the intention to clarify in what degree the flies of each species prefer bleeding sap to fruit, how the degree fluctuates according to environmental conditions, and how the sap preference concerns structural or behavioral adaptation and evolutionary sequence of the flies, and to shed any light upon an applied-entomological problem concerning establishment of breeding sites of phytophagous insects injurious upon cultivated plants.
