The paper investigates how adaptive tracking contributes to the invasion success of Drosophila suzukii by showing rapid evolution of thermal tolerance and other traits in response to environmental conditions.

The paper develops a model to predict how thermal performance curves evolve under realistic temperature timeseries and genetic factors, showing multi-generation lags and adaptive tracking in Drosophila suzukii.

The paper examines adaptive tracking in Drosophila suzukii, finding that polygenic traits like thermal tolerance show delayed evolutionary responses, while oligogenic traits exhibit stronger seasonal genomic signatures.

This study shows that temperature affects the efficacy of insecticidal dsRNA in Colorado potato beetle larvae, while plant cultivar does not.
