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.

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.

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 ...

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.
