Evolutionary history of an Alpine archaeognath(Machilis pallida) - insights from different variant types

This study uses different variant types to reconstruct the evolutionary history of Machilis pallida, revealing insights into parthenogenesis, polyploidy, and glaciation survival.

Differential gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster and D. nigrosparsa infected with the same Wolbachia strain

The paper compares gene expression changes in two Drosophila species infected with the same Wolbachia strain, finding species-specific responses and shared changes in heme binding and oxidation-reduction genes.

Wolbachia affect behavior and possibly reproductive compatibility but not thermoresistance, fecundity, and morphology in a novel transinfected host, Drosophila nigrosparsa

This study transinfected Drosophila nigrosparsa with Wolbachia wMel and found increased locomotion but no effects on fecundity, thermoresistance, or morphology.
