Ecology and Diversity of Urban Drosophila Species Communities as Potential Indicators of Biodiversity Decline [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
We investigated urban Drosophila communities in Vienna using ~18,000 specimens collected with citizen scientists, identifying 13 species including two new records for Austria (D. mercatorum and D. virilis). Compared to surveys 30 years ago, species richness has declined by more than 50%, with formerly common species replaced by neobiotic taxa.

Phylogenomics reveals the evolution of floral traits associated with pollinators and pollinator–prey conflict within the carnivorous Pinguicula subgenus Temnoceras [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Premise The carnivorous plant genus Pinguicula (Lentibulariaceae) exhibits remarkable floral diversity associated with pollination, particularly in the largest subgenus Temnoceras, which spans Mexico and Central America. Despite this diversity, the relationships between species and the evolution of key floral traits remain unresolved. Here, we

Immune genes and divergent antimicrobial peptides in flies of the subgenus Drosophila [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2016
Drosophila is an important model for studying the evolution of animal immunity, due to the powerful genetic tools developed for D. melanogaster. However, Drosophila is an incredibly speciose lineage with a wide range of ecologies, natural histories, and diverse natural enemies.

Divergent Transcriptional Architectures Beyond Core CAM Genes in Facultative and Constitutive CAM Species in Tillandsia L. [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 6, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is a water‐efficient photosynthetic strategy involving a coordinated suite of complex traits including metabolic, anatomical and regulatory aspects that shift across the diel cycle. While CAM has evolved repeatedly in land plants, the evolutionary routes enabling this convergence remain elusive.

Functional olfactory evolution in Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora

open access: yesiScience, 2022
Comparative analyses of multiple genomes are used extensively to examine the gains and losses of chemosensory receptors across the genus Drosophila. However, few studies have delved into functional olfactory characteristics. Here we assess olfactory function across 20 species, and identify and describe several similar elements of evolution. We document

Genome of Drosophila suzukii, the spotted wing drosophila. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Drosophila suzukii Matsumura (spotted wing drosophila) has recently become a serious pest of a wide variety of fruit crops in the United States as well as in Europe, leading to substantial yearly crop losses.
