Dynamic Bayesian modeling of the social behavior of Drosophila melanogaster

The paper models Drosophila melanogaster social behavior using Dynamic Bayesian Networks to predict pair behavior with high accuracy.

Tropical high-altitude insects show limited capacity to handle high temperatures

This study shows high-altitude tropical insects have limited capacity to cope with rising temperatures, as indicated by reduced heat tolerance and shifts in allele frequencies.

Direct observation of adaptive tracking on ecological timescales in Drosophila

The paper tracks phenotypic and genomic adaptation in Drosophila over ten generations, showing rapid and dynamic responses to environmental change.

Broad geographic sampling reveals predictable, pervasive, and strong seasonal adaptation in Drosophila

The paper identifies parallel seasonal allele frequency shifts in Drosophila melanogaster across North America and Europe, linking environmental conditions to genomic responses to selection.

Microbiome composition shapes rapid genomic adaptation of Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows microbiome manipulation drives rapid genomic adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster by altering allele frequencies across the genome.

A clinal polymorphism in the insulin signaling transcription factor foxo contributes to life-history adaptation in Drosophila

This study examines how natural variants in the foxo gene, part of the insulin signaling pathway, affect life-history traits in Drosophila across different environmental conditions.

Allelic polymorphism at foxo contributes to local adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster

This study shows that allelic variation at foxo affects body size and starvation tolerance in Drosophila melanogaster, mirroring latitudinal patterns in natural populations.
