Physically-Inspired Gaussian Process Models for Post-Transcriptional Regulation in Drosophila [PDF]
The regulatory process of Drosophila is thoroughly studied for understanding a great variety of biological principles. While pattern-forming gene networks are analysed in the transcription step, post-transcriptional events (e.g. translation, protein processing) play an important role in establishing protein expression patterns and levels.

Acorns as Breeding Sites for \u3ci\u3eChymomyza Amoena\u3c/i\u3e (Loew) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) in Virginia and Michigan [PDF]
Chymomyza amoena is the only chymomyzid fly emerging from white oak acorns in Virginia. An average of 2-3 adult flies emerged from a single acorn in July while emergence declined to 0.4 adults/acorns in September.

Comparison of the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) nuclear genes in the genomes of Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila pseudoobscura and Anopheles gambiae [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In eukaryotic cells, oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) uses the products of both nuclear and mitochondrial genes to generate cellular ATP.

DrosOCB: a high resolution map of conserved non coding sequences in Drosophila [PDF]
Comparative genomics methods are widely used to aid the functional annotation of non coding DNA regions. However, aligning non coding sequences requires new algorithms and strategies, in order to take into account extensive rearrangements and turnover during evolution.

Diurnal and Seasonal Activity Patterns of Drosophilid Species (Diptera: Drosophilidae) Present in Blackberry Agroecosystems With a Focus on Spotted-Wing Drosophila [PDF]
Drosophilid species with different life histories have been shown to exhibit similar behavioral patterns related to locating and utilizing resources such as hosts, mates, and food sources.

The genetics of speciation by reinforcement [PDF]
Reinforcement occurs when natural selection strengthens behavioral discrimination to prevent costly interpopulation matings, such as when matings produce sterile hybrids.

Transcript length mediates developmental timing of gene expression across Drosophila [PDF]
The time required to transcribe genes with long primary transcripts may limit their ability to be expressed in cells with short mitotic cycles, a phenomenon termed intron delay. As such short cycles are a hallmark of the earliest stages of insect development, we used Drosophila developmental timecourse expression data to test whether intron delay ...

Effects of Inversions on Within- and Between-Species Recombination and Divergence [PDF]
Chromosomal inversions disrupt recombination in heterozygotes by both reducing crossing-over within inverted regions and increasing it elsewhere in the genome.
