Inorganic phosphate content does not affect oviposition preference in the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii

This study tests whether inorganic phosphate affects oviposition preference in Drosophila suzukii and finds no significant preference for high inorganic phosphate media.

Rapid and transient evolution of local adaptation to seasonal host fruits in an invasive pest fly

This study shows that local adaptation, not phenotypic plasticity, dominates in Drosophila suzukii populations adapting to changing host fruits over generations.

The origin and maintenance of microbial symbionts in Drosophila larvae

This study investigates the origin and maintenance of microbial symbionts in Drosophila larvae, finding that both sexes transmit symbionts and some are conserved across the host life cycle.

MICROBIOTA-MEDIATED COMPETITION BETWEEN DROSOPHILA SPECIES

This study shows Drosophila suzukii avoids oviposition on substrates previously visited by D. melanogaster, but this behavior is influenced by the presence of Lactobacillus bacteria in either species.

Bacterial influence on the maintenance of symbiotic yeast through Drosophila metamorphosis

The paper shows that bacterial symbionts in Drosophila influence yeast maintenance through metamorphosis, highlighting their role in tripartite symbiosis.

The partitioning of symbionts effects on host resource acquisition and developmental plasticity

This study partitions symbiont effects on host resource acquisition and allocation using a new framework, revealing species-specific impacts on larval development and adult size in Drosophila.

Environmental specificity in Drosophila-bacteria symbiosis affects host developmental plasticity

This study shows that bacterial symbionts in Drosophila melanogaster have different effects on host traits depending on the environment, influencing developmental plasticity more than resource acquisition.

Environmental specificity and evolution in Drosophila-bacteria symbiosis

The paper investigates how bacterial symbionts from Drosophila melanogaster affect host traits in different environments, finding context-dependent effects on development and size.
