The study examines how food restriction affects genetic correlations between sexes in Drosophila prolongata, finding reduced intersex genetic covariances and increased sex-specific additive genetic variance.

The paper investigates the genetic basis of exaggerated foreleg development in Drosophila prolongata by comparing sex-biased gene expression across species and developmental stages, finding modest changes in gene expression and a role for the grain gene.

This study tests the hypothesis that resource defensibility facilitates weapon evolution by conducting experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster and observing changes in morphology and aggression.

This study identifies a polygenic architecture for wing shape and size adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster to high-altitude environments, with one large-effect QTL and many small-effect alleles contributing to divergence.

The paper investigates the replication of genetic effects on wing shape in Drosophila melanogaster using artificial selection and bulk segregant analysis, finding shared genetic responses but limited replication in natural populations.

This study examines how different predator hunting modes affect anti-predatory behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster, finding increased activity in response to active hunters but only modest effects from ambush predators.

This paper demonstrates that multivariate genome-wide association analysis of multiple traits improves power and informativeness compared to univariate analyses, using Drosophila wing shape as an example.

The paper uses machine learning to predict enhancers in Drosophila, finding that no single factor is necessary and spatial-temporal features improve classification.

The paper investigates how genetic background and rearing environment affect mutation expressivity, complementation, and allelic ordering in Drosophila.

This study shows that standing genetic variation can enable rapid phenotypic compensation for deleterious mutations in Drosophila melanogaster through alternative fitness traits.

This study uses digital evolution to show that evolutionary history has a greater impact than standing genetic variation on a population's ability to evolve effective anti-predator strategies in response to new threats.

This study examines how well evolutionary responses in Drosophila melanogaster to mantid predation can be predicted by comparing predicted and observed changes in wing size and shape over generations.

The paper analyzes published estimates of genetic variance-covariance (G) and selection (β) matrices to test hypotheses about evolutionary rates across trait types and genetic architecture.
