Cis-regulatory polymorphism at fiz ecdysone oxidase contributes to polygenic adaptation to malnutrition in Drosophila

F. Cavigliasso, M. Savitskiy, A. Koval, B. Erkosar, L. Savary, H. Gallart-Ayala, J. Ivanisevic, V. L. Katanaev, T. J. Kawecki

This study identifies a cis-regulatory polymorphism in fiz that contributes to polygenic adaptation to malnutrition in Drosophila melanogaster by modulating ecdysone oxidase activity and larval growth.

Evolutionary adaptation to juvenile malnutrition impacts adult metabolism and impairs adult fitness in Drosophila

B. Erkosar, C. Dupuis, F. Cavigliasso, L. Savary, H. Gallart-Ayala, J. Ivanisevic, T. J. Kawecki

This study shows that evolutionary adaptation to juvenile malnutrition in Drosophila leads to metabolic changes in adults that impair fitness, suggesting non-independent evolution of juvenile and adult metabolism.

Drosophila antimicrobial peptides and lysozymes regulate gut microbiota composition and abundance

A. Marra, M. A. Hanson, S. Kondo, B. Erkosar, B. Lemaitre

This study shows that antimicrobial peptides and lysozymes in Drosophila regulate gut microbiota composition and abundance, with their effects exacerbated during aging.

The genomic architecture of adaptation to larval malnutrition points to a trade-off with adult starvation resistance in Drosophila

T. J. Kawecki, B. Erkosar, C. Dupuis, B. Hollis, R. C. Stillwell, M. Kapun

This study identifies genomic regions associated with adaptation to larval malnutrition in Drosophila and finds a trade-off with adult starvation resistance.

Adaptation to chronic malnutrition leads to reduced dependence on microbiota in Drosophila

B. Erkosar, S. Kolly, J. R. van der Meer, T. J. Kawecki

This study shows that Drosophila populations adapted to chronic malnutrition rely less on microbiota for digestion and growth, with changes in dFOXO targets.
