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.

The paper investigates how gut microbiomes affect sperm competition in Drosophila by testing synthetic bacterial consortia and identifies microbial effects on sperm transfer and viability.

This study examines how combined environmental stressors affect male Drosophila reproduction and offspring fitness, showing microbiome diversity can buffer stress effects across generations.

This study examines how socio-ecological factors influence sexual selection and mating strategies in Drosophila prolongata, showing context-dependent shifts in competition modes and trait significance.
