The paper shows that environmental temperature drives competition among subspecies of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in Drosophila microbiomes, revealing functional differentiation at the subspecies level.

The paper uses DEST 2.0 to analyze genetic variation in D. melanogaster across continents and time, identifying adaptation patterns and stable spatial genetic structures.

The paper uses experimental evolution to study purifying selection on P-element invasion in Drosophila simulans, finding 73% of new insertions are under purifying selection with a mean selection coefficient of -0.056.

This study tracks polygenic adaptation in Drosophila populations under a new diet, showing a directional phase followed by a stabilizing phase with phenotypic stasis.

The paper examines how pleiotropy influences parallel gene expression evolution in Drosophila simulans adapted to a new temperature regime, finding both direct and indirect effects of pleiotropy on parallelism.

The paper investigates how endogenous retroviruses in Drosophila have evolved to adapt their expression patterns and infectivity, leading to niche-specific diversification.

The paper compares short-term and long-term selection responses in Drosophila populations and finds low concordance between them, highlighting the need for long experiments to capture complex adaptive architectures.

The study shows that adaptive architecture in Drosophila simulans is influenced by founder population ancestry rather than the specific selection regime.

The paper investigates TCR in Drosophila melanogaster and finds it remains active even without the MMR gene spel1, with TCR signatures detected in introns but not exons.

The paper validates selection targets from experimental evolution without phenotyping by conducting secondary evolve and re-sequencing experiments.

The paper investigates whether DNA motifs predict recombination rates in Drosophila species and finds that motif density does not explain large-scale recombination patterns in D. melanogaster or its sister species D. simulans.

This study examines how neuronal function and dopamine signaling adapt to high temperatures in Drosophila through laboratory evolution experiments.

This paper introduces a new estimator for effective population size (Ne) from temporal allele frequency changes in Pool-Seq data, correcting for sampling and sequencing variance, and applies it to Drosophila experimental evolution data.

The paper investigates the rapid global invasion of the P-element in Drosophila simulans and finds that it causes hybrid dysgenesis but is later suppressed by adaptive strains.

The paper analyzes transposable element activity in Drosophila species by comparing TE insertion frequencies across populations, finding recent bursts in both species with different TE family dominance.

The paper shows that the P-element, previously thought absent from Drosophila simulans, has recently invaded its populations via horizontal transfer from D. melanogaster.

This study compares transposable element activity between Drosophila species, finding lower activity in D. mauritiana due to ecological factors rather than selection.
