Adaptation and correlated fitness responses over two time scales in Drosophila suzukii populations evolving in different environments

This study tracks fitness changes in Drosophila suzukii populations across multiple generations and environments, revealing how adaptation dynamics differ over time.

Joint species distributions reveal the combined effects of host plants, abiotic factors and species competition as drivers of species abundances in fruit flies

The paper uses joint species distribution modeling and network inference to show host plants are the main driver of fruit fly abundances, followed by climate factors and competition.

How do invasion syndromes evolve? An experimental evolution approach using the ladybird Harmonia axyridis

This study uses artificial selection on H. axyridis to investigate how invasion syndromes evolve, finding that selecting on age at first reproduction leads to more widespread phenotypic changes than selecting on body mass.

A whole-genome scan for association with invasion success in the fruit fly Drosophila suzukii using contrasts of allele frequencies corrected for population structure

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with invasion success in Drosophila suzukii using a new statistical method to correct for population structure.

The genomic basis of colour pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird

This study identifies the gene pannier as controlling melanic pattern polymorphism in the harlequin ladybird through cis-regulatory allelic variation.
