Thermal plasticity of wing spot size in Drosophila guttifera: investigating the relevance to Wingless morphogen

This study investigates thermal plasticity of wing spots in Drosophila guttifera and finds that temperature affects wing and spot size differently, suggesting temperature influences Wingless morphogen distribution.

Photoreceptor genes in a trechine beetle, Trechiama kuznetsovi, living in the upper hypogean zone

This study identifies photoreceptor genes in a subterranean beetle, showing it retains photoreception ability despite a vestigial eye.

DrosoPhyla: genomic resources for drosophilid phylogeny and systematics

The paper develops genomic markers and constructs phylogenetic trees for 704 Drosophilidae species to clarify evolutionary relationships and resolve taxonomic uncertainties.

Sexually monomorphic wing pigmentation pattern does not contribute to mate choice in Drosophila guttifera

The study tests if sexually monomorphic wing pigmentation in Drosophila guttifera influences mate choice, finding no evidence of its contribution.
