The paper examines microbial communities of invasive and native Drosophila species in French Guiana, identifying candidate taxa linked to host adaptation and competitiveness.

The paper identifies a high-prevalence Mega-NUMT in Drosophila paulistorum using long-read sequencing, suggesting its persistence due to balancing selection.

The paper investigates co-speciation and genome reduction in Wolbachia of Neotropical Drosophila, finding congruent topologies but low mutation rates and unexpected genome size increase in an obligate strain.

The paper quantifies reticulation in the Drosophila saltans species group using new phylogenomic methods and finds evidence of saltational evolution linked to paleogeographical events.

The paper investigates Wolbachia tropism in Drosophila embryos and somatic tissues, revealing early autophagy-mediated restriction and ER interactions that shape infection patterns.

The paper presents a comparative genomic analysis of six Glossina species, identifying genetic features related to their unique biology and vectorial capacity.
