Mitonuclear interactions produce extreme differences in response to redox stress

The paper examines how mitonuclear incompatibilities affect redox stress response in Drosophila, showing genotype-specific effects on respiration and glutathione levels.

Mother's curse is pervasive across a large mito-nuclear Drosophila panel

The paper tests the mothers curse hypothesis using a large Drosophila mito-nuclear panel, finding that mitochondrial genetic variance affects males more than females in most nuclear backgrounds.

Does meiotic drive alter male mate preference?

The paper investigates whether meiotic drive affects male mate preference in stalk-eyed flies, finding no difference in preference strength between drive and standard males but linking eyespan to preference strength.

Sex-specific transcriptomic responses to changes in the nutritional environment

The paper identifies sex-specific transcriptomic responses to dietary changes, revealing shared and divergent gene regulation in metabolic and reproductive pathways.

Meiotic drive reduces egg-to-adult viability in stalk-eyed flies

The paper investigates the impact of SR meiotic drive on egg-to-adult viability in stalk-eyed flies, finding reduced viability in both sexes and additive effects in females.

Experimental Evidence That Thermal Selection Shapes Mitochondrial Genome Evolution

The paper uses experimental evolution in Drosophila to show thermal selection affects mtDNA haplogroup frequencies, supporting the mitochondrial climatic adaptation hypothesis.

Sex- and genotype-effects on nutrient-dependent fitness landscapes in Drosophila melanogaster

This study assesses genetic variation in dietary requirements and metabolic fitness effects in Drosophila melanogaster males and females across different protein-to-carbohydrate diets, revealing sex-specific genetic constraints on metabolic dimorphism.

Experimental support that natural selection has shaped the latitudinal distribution of mitochondrial haplotypes in Australian Drosophila melanogaster

The paper shows that thermal selection has shaped mitochondrial haplotype distribution in Australian Drosophila melanogaster, with haplotypes prevalent at different latitudes conferring distinct thermal tolerances.
