PLoS ONE, 2014 Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which animals can cope with rapidly changeable environments, but the evolutionary lability of such plasticity remains unclear.

Drosophila Sexual Attractiveness in Older Males Is Mediated by Their Microbiota
Microorganisms, 2020 Age is well known to be a basis for female preference of males. However, the mechanisms underlying age-based choices are not well understood, with several competing theories and little consensus.

Genome-wide tests for introgression between cactophilic Drosophila implicate a role of inversions during speciation [PDF]
, 2015 K.L. was funded by a junior research fellowship from the National Environmental Research Council, UK (NE/I020288/1, NBAF659).Models of speciation-with-gene-flow have shown that the reduction in recombination between alternative chromosome arrangements ...

The Functions of the Multiproduct and Rapidly Evolving \u3cem\u3edec-1\u3c/em\u3e Eggshell Gene Are Conserved Between Evolutionarily Distant Species of Drosophila [PDF]
, 2001 The Drosophila dec-1 gene encodes multiple proteins that are required for female fertility and proper eggshell morphogenesis. Genetic and immunolocalization data suggest that the different DEC-1 proteins are functionally distinct.

MicroRNA targets in Drosophila. [PDF]
, 2003 BACKGROUND: The recent discoveries of microRNA (miRNA) genes and characterization of the first few target genes regulated by miRNAs in Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster have set the stage for elucidation of a novel network of regulatory ...

Preadult competition between Drosophila subobscura and Drosophila pseudoobscura
Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, 2009 The Palaearctic species Drosophila subobscura has recently colonized a large area of North America where it coexists with Drosophila pseudoobscura. The viability and developmental rate of these species were studied at 13 dC, 18dC and 23 dC and at densities of 10, 50, 100 and 200 eggs per vial.

PATTERN OF CHROMOSOME VARIABILITY IN DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA [PDF]
Evolution, 1960 It has been noted by several investigators (Dobzhansky 1944; Novitski 1946; Pavan 1946) that in some species of Drosophila, variability in chromosome structure is virtually restricted to one chromosome. At the same time, they note, the variable chromosome has a large number of inversions distributed throughout the species. This paper shall be addressed

Chromatographic separation and identification of some peptides in partial hydroylsates of gelatin [PDF]
, 1953 Recently we have been engaged in a study of the chemical structure of collagen and gelatin with the object of determining the sequence of the amino acid residues in the polypeptide chains of these proteins.

Gene expression clines reveal local adaptation and associated trade-offs at a continental scale [PDF]
, 2016 Local adaptation, where fitness in one environment comes at a cost in another, should lead to spatial variation in trade-offs between life history traits and may be critical for population persistence.

Decoding transcription and microRNA-mediated translation control in Drosophila development [PDF]
, 2010 The spatio-temporal regulation of gene expression lies at the heart of animal development. In this article we present an overview of our recent work to apply systems biological approaches to the study of transcription and microRNA-mediated translation ...
