Evolution of chemosensory and detoxification gene families across herbivorous Drosophilidae

J. N. Pelaez, A. D. Gloss, B. Goldman-Huertas, B. Kim, R. T. Lapoint, G. Pimentel-Solorio, K. I. Verster, J. M. Aguilar, A. C. N. Dittrich, M. Singhal, H. C. Suzuki, T. Matsunaga, E. E. Armstrong, J. L. M. Charboneau, S. C. Groen, , N. K. Whiteman

This study examines gene family evolution in herbivorous Drosophila to understand dietary adaptation, finding higher gene turnover in herbivores but limited losses on the ancestral herbivore branch.
