This community is characterized by the abundance of Ocnus planci (or Ocnus brunneus).
Loss of the Ocnus population would result in loss of the biotope as described and, therefore Ocnus has been considered to be important characterizing.
The other species in the community are common and characteristic of the wave sheltered muddy habitats in which the biotope is found.

 janA - Sex-regulated protein janus-A
Molecular Evolution of the ocnus and janus Genes in the Drosophila melanogaster Species Subgroup.
Levels of nucleotide polymorphism in three paralogous Drosophila simulans genes, janusA (janA), janusB (janB), and ocnus (ocn), were surveyed by DNA sequencing.
Results showed that the testis-specific expression of the janB gene is mediated by a short DNA sequence (positions -174 to +107) which is located entirely within the last exon of the upstream janA gene.

 Virgil
Even the claim to a mere five hundred men from the margins of the world says something, and Ocnus is a Greek word for hesitancy, indolence or shrinking, that suits the endless windings of the Mantuan river.
Furthermore, when Phaethon fell from heaven and his sisters lamented him inconsolably, they were turned into the amber-weeping poplar trees of the Po valley, and the crest-feathered Cunerus, Phaethon's brother, sang about him in their shadow to the stars until in white old age he was turned into the constellation Cycnus, the Swan (Aen.
Cycnus and Ocnus are similar words, and perhaps for Virgil Ocnus is the name of some fabulously beautiful and shy heron of the river Mincius or the Po.

 Inferring Evolutionary History through Interand Intraspecific DNA Sequence Comparison The Drosophila janus and ocnus ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Of particular interest are cases where the observed data depart from the neutral expectation and suggest adaptive evolution due to positive natural selection.
In this chapter, we use the Drosophila janusA, janusB and ocnus genes to demonstrate methods of evolutionary inference from both inter- and intraspecific DNA sequence data.
Interspecific comparisons suggest that these three paralogous, testes-expressed genes have diverged in function following duplication and have evolved under different selective constraints.
