This study shows traffic noise reduces fecundity and mating efficiency in Drosophila melanogaster, with male locomotor activity also affected, suggesting negative impacts on insect fitness.

This study shows that dispersal evolution in Drosophila melanogaster under protein-poor larval diets leads to distinct trait changes compared to standard diets.

The paper evolves Drosophila melanogaster without microbiomes for 54-57 generations and finds minimal trait changes despite initial selection pressure.

The paper studies how external perturbations affect ecological communities, finding that cooperative interactions increase extinction risk but leave some species intact, leading to a community with more cooperation.
