Investigating the phylogenetic history of toxin tolerance in mushroom‐feeding Drosophila
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Understanding how and when key novel adaptations evolved is a central goal of evolutionary biology. Within the immigrans‐tripunctata radiation of Drosophila, many mushroom‐feeding species are tolerant of host toxins, such as cyclopeptides, that are ...
