Multiple and diverse structural changes affect the breakpoint regions of polymorphic inversions across the Drosophila genus [PDF]
, 2017 Chromosomal polymorphism is widespread in the Drosophila genus, with extensive evidence supporting its adaptive character in diverse species. Moreover, inversions are the major contributors to the genus chromosomal evolution.

Codon usage in twelve species of
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2007 Background Codon usage bias (CUB), the uneven use of synonymous codons, is a ubiquitous observation in virtually all organisms examined. The pattern of codon usage is generally similar among closely related species, but differs significantly among ...

Genes Involved in the Evolution of Herbivory by a Leaf-Mining, Drosophilid Fly [PDF]
, 2014 Herbivorous insects are among the most successful radiations of life. However, we know little about the processes underpinning the evolution of herbivory.

The evolution of olfactory gene families in Drosophila and the genomic basis of chemical-ecological adaptation in Drosophila suzukii [PDF]
, 2016 How the evolution of olfactory genes correlates with adaption to new ecological niches is still a debated topic. We explored this issue in Drosophila suzukii, an emergin gmodel that reproduces on fresh fruit rather than in fermenting substrates likemost ...

Multigenome DNA sequence conservation identifies Hox cis-regulatory elements [PDF]
, 2008 To learn how well ungapped sequence comparisons of multiple species can predict cis-regulatory elements in Caenorhabditis elegans, we made such predictions across the large, complex ceh-13/lin-39 locus and tested them transgenically. We also examined how

Another way of being anisogamous in Drosophila subgenus species: giant sperm, one-to-one gamete ratio, and high zygote provisioning. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1994 It is generally assumed that sexes in animals have arisen from a productivity versus provisioning conflict; males are those individuals producing gametes necessarily small, in excess, and individually bereft of all paternity assurance. A 1- to 2-cm sperm, 5-10 times as long as the male body, might therefore appear an evolutionary paradox.
