Genome-wide selection signatures reveal widespread synergistic effects of culture conditions and temperature stress in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper uses experimental evolution and whole-genome sequencing to study how temperature and lab conditions interact to affect fitness in Drosophila melanogaster.

The transposition rate has little influence on equilibrium copy numbers of the P-element

The study shows that transposition rate has little effect on P-element copy numbers in Drosophila simulans, suggesting other factors like piRNA dynamics and selection shape TE abundance.

Highly parallel genomic selection response in replicated Drosophila melanogaster populations with reduced genetic variation

This study shows that using two inbred Drosophila strains under extreme heat leads to highly parallel genomic selection responses across replicates, with stronger selection coefficients than traditional methods.

Evolution of phenotypic variance provides insights into the genetic basis of adaptation

The paper uses gene expression variance evolution in Drosophila to infer the polygenic basis of adaptive gene expression.

The evolution of phenotypic plasticity in response to temperature stress

This study shows that thermal plasticity of gene expression evolves in response to temperature stress in Drosophila simulans, with most ancestral plasticity increasing in more extreme environments.

Neuronal function and dopamine signaling evolve at high temperature in Drosophila

This study examines how neuronal function and dopamine signaling adapt to high temperatures in Drosophila through laboratory evolution experiments.

Polygenic adaptation fuels genetic redundancy in Drosophila

This study shows that polygenic adaptation in Drosophila simulans leads to genetic redundancy, enabling rapid evolutionary responses through multiple genetic pathways.

A simple genetic basis of adaptation to a novel thermal environment results in complex metabolic rewiring in Drosophila

This study shows that a simple genetic basis for thermal adaptation in Drosophila leads to complex metabolic changes, highlighting the role of large-effect loci in rapid adaptation.
