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 ...

Host species and environmental effects on bacterial communities associated with Drosophila in the laboratory and in the natural environment [PDF]
, 2012 The fruit fly Drosophila is a classic model organism to study adaptation as well as the relationship between genetic variation and phenotypes. Although associated bacterial communities might be important for many aspects of Drosophila biology, knowledge about their diversity, composition, and factors shaping them is limited.

Global patterns of sequence evolution in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2007 This article is available from: http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/8/408[Background] Sequencing of the genomes of several Drosophila allows for the first precise analyses of how global sequence patterns change among multiple, closely related animal ...

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.

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Our investigation applied genome skimming to museum specimens of Syntretus, a parasitoid wasp, due to its suspected parasitism of short‐haired bumblebee (Bombus subterraneus) queens during a reintroduction programme. We detected two clades within Syntretus, a possible consequence of host choice.
