This study compares redox responses to heat stress in temperate and tropical Drosophila melanogaster embryos, finding divergent redox shifts that correlate with heat tolerance.

The paper investigates selection pressures on maternal and zygotic gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster embryos using single-embryo RNA sequencing and variance tests, finding directional selection is more common than stabilizing selection.

The paper uses single-nucleus multiome sequencing to study how thermal acclimation affects chromatin accessibility and gene expression in Drosophila embryos, revealing homeostatic mechanisms that enhance heat tolerance.

This study compares transcriptomic responses to heat stress in tropical and temperate Drosophila melanogaster embryos to identify genetic basis for adaptive heat tolerance.
