The 'Basic Atlas' provides the user with a hypertext tour guide to the basic structural elements of the Drosophila nervous system. It links schematic representations, serial sections through the entire brain, and Golgi impregnations of individual cells. When appropriate, these are also linked to enhancer-trap images and to other gene expression data. The Basic Atlas provides a usable overview of how the different parts of the nervous system are constructed and connected. It is intended that the Atlas links will provide a tour through the brain and its main structures. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
FlyBase is a database of genetic and molecular data for Drosophila. FlyBase includes data on all species from the family Drosophilidae. [Information of the supplier]
FlyMove is an internet resource to study the development of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, aimed at university students and teachers of developmental biology classes. It will provide you with a variety of images, movies and interactive Shockwaves, which will facilitate the understanding of complex developmental processes. Each of these media types is marked with a symbol. Images and Movies contain in vivo data as well as graphics and animation, allowing abstraction while keeping closely connected to the organism. Interactive Shockwaves allow to explore developmental processes at your own pace and level. Some virtual experiments are presented, too. ... [Information of the supplier]
Worldwide, the Stiletto Flies (Insecta: Diptera: Asiloidea:Therevidae) have been poorly known and among the least understood of the flies (Order Diptera). Diptera are among the poorest known of the larger insect orders. Yet, this fascinating, medium-sized (>1,600 spp.) family of flies is critical to the sound functioning of arid and semiarid environments, including agroecosystems and forests in those zones. Individuals of this family have been infrequently collected because the adults are usually secretive, frequenting habitats rarely sampled by collectors. ... [Information of the supplier]
The BioSystematic Database of World Diptera (BDWD) provides a comprehensive portal to knowledge about these dipterans as well as a framework to organize and integrate current and future data, information and knowledge. The linnaean system of names provides unique information keys within a hierarchical framework which can map our knowledge of life from a historical (phylogenetic) perspective. Unfortunately after some 250 years of research, there are now too many names, including identical names for different organisms and many different names for the same organism. More than 150,000 species of Diptera have been described under more than 200,000 names. The BDWD provides a nomenclator to find the single correct name for each dipteran. ...

The Interactive Fly - a cyberspace guide to Drosophila development and metazoan evolution - was first released July/August 1996, with updates provided at approximately one month intervals, through September 1997 (edition 13). Updating quarterly started with edition 14. With edition 40, the Interactive Fly began to schedule updates three times a year: fall, winter and spring. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
FlyView is an image database on Drosophila development and genetics, especially on expression patterns of genes (enhancer trap lines, cloned genes). Our aim is to establish the possibility to compare images on the computer screen and to search for special patterns at different developmental stages. FlyView presents three possibilities for searching: Search for pattern elements (with keywords in text descriptions, getting back images with links to the appropriate stocks), search for stocks (with stock number, allele, genotype, chromosome, insertion site, viability, developmental stage or expression pattern, getting back a list of found stocks that guide to full descriptions (including links to images, e-mail address for ordering and, in the case of BDGP lines, also direct links to FlyBase and/or EofD)) and Overview (an actual list of all lines included in FlyView, linked to stock descriptions and images). The success of this database exclusively depends on the activity of the Drosophila community. All Drosophila workers are asked to contribute to this database by submitting images and accompanying text. ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
This database presents the current results of large scale protein trapping screens that provide both information on which cells express each tagged gene, and subcellular localization of GFP-tagged proteins. It contains sequence coordinates of inserted transposons, information on the tagged genes, and images with expression patterns of GFP in Drosophila tissues. FlyTrap serves as the data repository for lines generated in the Chia, Cooley, and Spradling labs. The protein trap stocks listed in FlyTrap are available for distribution. ...
