Phenotypic and Genomic Evidence of Adaptive Tracking in Thermal Tolerance of Wild Populations of an Invasive Drosophila.

The paper examines adaptive tracking in Drosophila suzukii, finding that polygenic traits like thermal tolerance show delayed evolutionary responses, while oligogenic traits exhibit stronger seasonal genomic signatures.

Limited population structure but signals of recent selection in introduced African Fig Fly (Zaprionus indianus) in North America

The paper analyzes population genomics of the African Fig Fly in North America, finding limited population structure but signals of recent selection, particularly in pesticide resistance and temperate adaptation.

Unique genetic signatures of local adaptation over space and time for diapause, an ecologically relevant complex trait, in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies genetic variants associated with diapause in Drosophila melanogaster, showing spatial and temporal variation in their evolutionary patterns.
