The paper uses DEST 2.0 to analyze genetic variation in D. melanogaster across continents and time, identifying adaptation patterns and stable spatial genetic structures.

The paper investigates a gene drive targeting the wupA gene in Drosophila to skew sex ratios, finding it can reduce female progeny and is effective across multiple species.

This paper develops a laboratory model using Drosophila melanogaster to study insecticide susceptibility gene drives, showing they can revert resistance but face challenges like gene drive resistance and population suppression.

This study shows that low doses of spinosad cause lysosomal defects, oxidative stress, lipid dysregulation, and neurodegeneration in Drosophila.
