This study identifies differential timing of orthodenticle (otd) expression as a mechanism underlying ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species.

The paper identifies genes involved in the development and evolution of male genital structures in Drosophila species using introgression lines and RNA-seq.

This paper identifies the gene tartan as responsible for evolutionary differences in male Drosophila genital morphology between D. mauritiana and D. simulans.
