High frequency of horizontal transfer in Jockey families (LINE order) of drosophilids
Mobile DNA, 2019 Background The use of large-scale genomic analyses has resulted in an improvement of transposable element sampling and a significant increase in the number of reported HTT (horizontal transfer of transposable elements) events by expanding the sampling of

The origin of chromosomal inversions as a source of segmental duplications in the Sophophora subgenus of Drosophila [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractChromosomal 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 inversion process itself that might affect not only the expression of flanking genes but ...

Ectoparasitic mites and their Drosophila hosts
Fly, 2017 Only two parasite interactions are known for Drosophila to date: Allantonematid nematodes associated with mycophagous Drosophilids and the ectoparasitic mite Macrocheles subbadius with the Sonoran Desert endemic Drosophila nigrospiracula.

Evolutionary history of LTR-retrotransposons among 20 Drosophila species
Mobile DNA, 2017 Background The presence of transposable elements (TEs) in genomes is known to explain in part the variations of genome sizes among eukaryotes. Even among closely related species, the variation of TE amount may be striking, as for example between the two ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2012 Background For a long time the presence of respiratory proteins in most insects has been considered unnecessary. However, in recent years it has become evident that globins belong to the standard repertoire of the insect genome.

Sex-specific triacylglycerides are widely conserved in Drosophila and mediate mating behavior
eLife, 2014 Pheromones play an important role in the behavior, ecology, and evolution of many organisms. The structure of many insect pheromones typically consists of a hydrocarbon backbone, occasionally modified with various functional oxygen groups.
