Functional olfactory evolution in Drosophila suzukii and the subgenus Sophophora [PDF]
iScience, 2022 Summary: 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.

Characterization of the chemoreceptor repertoire of a highly specialized fly with comparisons to other Drosophila species [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular BiologyTo explore the diversity of scenarios in nature, animals have evolved tools to interact with different environmental conditions. Chemoreceptors are an important interface component and among them, olfactory receptors (ORs) and gustatory receptors (GRs ...

The origin of chromosomal inversions as a source of segmental duplications in the Sophophora subgenus of Drosophila [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 Chromosomal inversions can contribute to the adaptation of organisms to their environment by capturing particular advantageous allelic combinations of a set of genes included in the inverted fragment and also by advantageous functional changes due to the

Differential attraction of drosophilids to banana baits inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Hanseniaspora uvarum within a Neotropical forest remnant [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Yeasts are a necessary requisite in the diet of most Drosophila species that, in turn, may vector their dispersal in natural environments.
