Historical contingency is revealed by trade-offs upon sequential adaptation to different infection routes

This study shows that past adaptation to systemic infection affects the speed and mechanism of adaptation to oral infection in Drosophila, with sex-specific outcomes and trade-offs.

Pathogen-Induced Damage in Drosophila: Uncoupling Disease Tolerance from Resistance

This study investigates disease tolerance in Drosophila by exposing it to heat-killed Pseudomonas entomophila, finding that mortality and fecundity reduction depend on exposure duration, sex, and bacterial virulence, with microbiota exacerbating effects.

Improved chromosome level genome assembly of the Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) based on SMRT Sequencing and linkage map.

The paper improves the chromosome-level genome assembly of the Glanville fritillary butterfly using SMRT sequencing and a linkage map, increasing the assembly size by 94 Mb.
