Splicing of a core clock gene regulates seasonal adaptations by a winter gating mechanism

This study shows that alternative splicing of the timeless gene regulates seasonal adaptations in Drosophila by modulating PDF signaling through a winter gating mechanism.

Transcriptome analysis of Drosophila suzukii reveals molecular mechanisms conferring pyrethroid and spinosad resistance

This study identifies molecular mechanisms of pyrethroid and spinosad resistance in Drosophila suzukii through transcriptome analysis and validates findings using Drosophila melanogaster mutants.

Highly contiguous genome assembly and population sequencing reveal three distinct populations and signatures of insecticide resistance of Tuta absoluta in Latin America

Population structure of Drosophila suzukii and signals of multiple invasions into the continental United States

The paper analyzes whole-genome sequences of Drosophila suzukii to identify population structure and migration patterns, finding strong East-West differentiation in the U.S. and repeated Asian migrations.
