DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9126
Abstract: Abstract Many mycophagous Drosophila species have adapted to tolerate high concentrations of mycotoxins, an ability not reported in any other eukaryotes. Although an association between mycophagy and mycotoxin tolerance has been established in many Drosophila… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyac119
Abstract: In Drosophila chromosomal rearrangements can be maintained and are associated with karyotypic variability among populations from different geographic localities. The abundance of variability in gene arrangements among chromosomal arms is even greater when comparing more… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/imb.12577
Abstract: A monophyletic group of Drosophila hAT transposable elements, referred to as Herves‐like, was characterized and found to be present in 46% of 57 screened Drosophila species. A remarkable characteristic of these elements is the presence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.14104
Abstract: Sex‐based differences in physiological traits may be influenced by both evolutionary and environmental factors. Here we used male and female flies from >80 Drosophila species reared under common conditions to examine variance in a number… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/mbio.03863-21
Abstract: All organisms are living in close and intimate interactions with microbes that cause conflicts but also cooperation between both unequal genetic partners due to their different innate interests of primarily enhancing their own fitness. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.168518
Abstract: ABSTRACT Insect chill tolerance is strongly associated with the ability to maintain ion and water homeostasis during cold exposure. Maintenance of K+ balance is particularly important due to its role in setting the cell membrane… read more here.

DOI: 10.1242/jeb.232116
Abstract: ABSTRACT Monoterpenes are molecules with insecticide properties whose mechanism of action is, however, not completely elucidated. Furthermore, they seem to be able to modulate the monoaminergic system and several behavioural aspects in insects. In particular,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes14020300
Abstract: Satellite DNA (satDNA) is a class of tandemly repeated non-protein coding DNA sequences which can be found in abundance in eukaryotic genomes. They can be functional, impact the genomic architecture in many ways, and their… read more here.
