This study shows that strong heat stress selection can overcome genetic barriers to introgression between two Drosophila species, enhancing heat tolerance.

The paper investigates DNA methylation's role in sexual size dimorphism in Cynoglossus semilaevis, finding sex-specific methylation patterns and their evolutionary implications.

This study examines a chromosomal inversion in Drosophila montana, finding it enriched with adaptive and barrier loci, suggesting inversions help maintain adaptive allelic combinations and reduce gene flow.

The study analyzes genomic data from Drosophila species to test the allopatric speciation model, finding common gene flow and suggesting speciation often involves long-term gene flow rather than extensive allopatry.

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 identifies SNP loci associated with female re-mating rate in Drosophila pseudoobscura using bulk segregant analysis and finds fewer fixed SNPs than expected by simulation.

The paper examines genomic divergence in Drosophila montana to identify cold adaptation signatures, finding 250 genes with accelerated divergence and outlier loci on the X chromosome.
