Mitochondrial genome dataset of Drosophila melanogaster Meigen, 1830 (fruit fly) from PakistanGenBank [PDF]
Drosophila melanogaster is one of the most employed animal models and was amongst the first organisms selected for genome sequencing. Geographically isolated populations of D. melanogaster have shown to harbour distinct allelic makeup.

Fine mapping of dominant X-linked incompatibility alleles in Drosophila hybrids. [PDF]
Sex chromosomes have a large effect on reproductive isolation and play an important role in hybrid inviability. In Drosophila hybrids, X-linked genes have pronounced deleterious effects on fitness in male hybrids, which have only one X chromosome ...

Interactions between Drosophila and its natural yeast symbionts—Is Saccharomyces cerevisiae a good model for studying the fly-yeast relationship? [PDF]
Yeasts play an important role in the biology of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. In addition to being a valuable source of nutrition, yeasts affect D. melanogaster behavior and interact with the host immune system.

Distinct decision-making properties underlying the species specificity of group formation of flies
Many animal species form groups. Group characteristics differ between species, suggesting that the decision-making of individuals for grouping varies across species. However, the actual decision-making properties that lead to interspecific differences in
