Behaviors associated with reproduction are major contributors to the evolutionary success of
organisms and are subject to many evolutionary forces, including natural and sexual …

Drosophila melanogaster is emerging as an important model of non-pathogenic host–
microbe interactions. The genetic and experimental tractability of Drosophila has led to …

1. Species of Drosophilidae are frequently used as model organisms, but their relationships
with the environment, particularly in immature stages, remain poorly known. 2. This is the …

The vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster is a pivotal model for invertebrate development,
genetics, physiology, neuroscience, and disease. The whole family Drosophilidae, which …

Aim Understanding how ecological and evolutionary processes together determine patterns
of biodiversity remains a central aim in biology. Guided by ecological theory, we use data …

The genus Scaptomyza is emerging as a model lineage in which to study biogeography and
ecological adaptation. To place future research on these species into an evolutionary …

Experimental infections of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) with genomically
characterized plant pathogens such as Pseudomonas syringae have facilitated the …

Abstract The Hawaiian picture wing Drosophila are a striking example of adaptive radiation
in specialist saprophages on an island system. We use DNA sequences from five nuclear …

Preference of egg laying in ripe (or in ripening process), healthy, soft, small fruits (berries
and stone fruits) still attached to the plant makes Drosophila suzukii (spotted wing …

Colonisation of new geographic regions and/or of new ecological resources can result in
rapid species diversification into the new ecological niches available. Members of the …
