Drosophila Bizonata
''Drosophila bizonata'' is a species of fruit fly in the ''Drosophila bizonata'' species group in the Immigrans-tripunctata radiation of the ''Drosophila'' subgenus. ''Drosophila bizonata'' is found in Japan. ''D. bizonata'' breeds and feeds exclusively on mushrooms, and has a high tolerance for ibotenic acid, a toxic compound found in ''Amanita The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species. This genus is responsible for approximately 95% of the fatalities result ...'' mushrooms. References External links Diptera.info Insects described in 1938 bizonata {{Drosophilidae-stub ...

Immigrans-tripunctata Radiation
The immigrans-tripunctata radiation is a speciose lineage of ''Drosophila'' flies, including over 300 species. The immigrans-tripunctata radiation is a sister lineage to most other members of the subgenus Drosophila. A number of species have had their genomes or transcriptomes sequenced for evolutionary studies using ''Drosophila''. Species groups The following species groups and numbers largely derive from O'Grady (2018). * Immigrans species group (106 species) * Tripunctata species group (83 species) * Quinaria species group (35 species) * Guarani species group (24 species) * Cardini species group (16 species) * Calloptera species group (8 species) * Bizonata species group (7 species) * Funebris species group (7 species) * Testacea species group (4 species) Sequenced genomes or transcriptomes The following species have extensive genetic sequence data available.

Drosophila (subgenus)
''Drosophila'' is a paraphyletic subgenus of the genus ''Drosophila'', a classification of fruit flies. This subgenus was first described by Alfred Sturtevant in 1939.Sturtevant, A. H. (1939)On the subdivision of the genus ''Drosophila'' ''Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America''. 25, 137–141. Members of the subgenus Drosophila can be distinguished from other Drosophilid species by breaks in the pigmentation along the dorsal section of their abdomen. Phylogeny Most species are within three major groups, the ''virilis-repleta'' radiation, the ''immigrans-tripunctata'' radiation and the Hawaiian Drosophila. Additionally, several smaller species groups are recognized consisting of smaller numbers of species, like the ''tumiditarsus'' species group and the ''polychaeta'' species group.

Ibotenic Acid
Ibotenic acid or (''S'')-2-amino-2-(3-hydroxyisoxazol-5-yl)acetic acid, also referred to as ibotenate, is a chemical compound and psychoactive drug which occurs naturally in ''Amanita muscaria'' and related species of mushrooms typically found in the temperate and boreal regions of the northern hemisphere. It is a prodrug of muscimol, broken down by the liver to that much stabler compound. It is a conformationally-restricted analogue of the neurotransmitter glutamate, and due to its structural similarity to this neurotransmitter, acts as a non-selective glutamate receptor agonist. Because of this, ibotenic acid can be a powerful neurotoxin in high doses, and is employed as a "brain-lesioning agent" through cranial injections in scientific research. The neurotoxic effects appear to be dose-related and risks are unclear through consumption of ibotenic-acid containing fungi, although thought to be negligible in small doses. Pharmacology Ibotenic acid acts as a potent agonist of t ...

Amanita
The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species. This genus is responsible for approximately 95% of the fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for about 50% on its own. The most potent toxin present in these mushrooms is α-Amanitin. The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of ''Amanita'' are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are ''Amanita zambiana'' and other fleshy species in central Africa, ''Amanita basii, A. basii'' and similar species in Mexico, ''Amanita caesarea, A. caesarea'' and the "Blusher" ''Amanita rubescens'' in Europe, and ''Amanita chepangiana, A. chepangiana'' in South-East Asia.

Insects Described In 1938
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. Insect ...
