Hierarchical divergence across genomic, phenotypic, and microbiome dimensions in two annual killifish species from Malawi

This study examines divergence across genomic, phenotypic, and microbiome levels in two killifish species, finding geographic and hydrological factors drive genomic divergence while phenotypic and microbiome variation show partial decoupling from genetic differentiation.

Population divergence in growth allometry of annual killifishes across ephemeral habitats in Malawi floodplain systems

The paper examines growth allometry variation in two annual killifish species across Malawi's ephemeral habitats, finding species-specific divergence in allometric scaling and environmental associations.

Persistent effects of dietary selection and inbreeding on microbiome composition and longevity in Drosophila

This study examines how long-term dietary selection and inbreeding affect microbiome composition and longevity in Drosophila, finding persistent effects on survival and microbial stability.

Larval protein restriction interacts with adult diet to increase fitness in an outbred multiparent population.

The paper examines how larval and adult diet interactions affect lifespan and fecundity in Drosophila melanogaster, finding no consistent support for environmental matching or silver spoon models.

Diverse biological processes coordinate the transcriptional response to nutritional changes in a Drosophila melanogaster multiparent population

The paper identifies diet-induced gene expression variation in Drosophila melanogaster using RNA-seq, revealing diverse pathways beyond the insulin/TOR pathway.

Multiple genetic loci affect place learning and memory performance in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper identifies 16 genetic loci affecting place learning and memory in Drosophila melanogaster using a multiparent mapping resource and transcriptomic analysis.

A model-based high throughput method for fecundity estimation in fruit fly studies.

The paper develops a model-based method to automate fecundity estimation in Drosophila by counting eggs from images, achieving a high correlation with manual counts.
