Genomic plasticity drives olfactory adaptation in a pest fly

Qi Xue, Hany K. M. Dweck

The paper shows how genomic plasticity in chemosensory genes enables olfactory adaptation in Drosophila suzukii, allowing it to shift preferences to ripe fruits.

Sugar sensation and mechanosensation in the egg-laying preference shift of Drosophila suzukii

Wanyue Wang, Hany K. M. Dweck, Gaëlle J.S. Talross, Ali Zaidi, Joshua M. Gendron, John R. Carlson

This study compares sweet and mechanosensory perception in Drosophila suzukii and D. melanogaster, showing differences in sugar response, mechanosensation, and cue integration that may explain their distinct egg-laying preferences.

Large-scale characterization of sex pheromone communication systems in Drosophila

Mohammed A. Khallaf, Rongfeng Cui, Jerrit Weißflog, Maide Erdogmus, Aleš Svatoš, Hany K. M. Dweck, Dario Riccardo Valenzano, Bill S. Hansson, Markus Knaden

The paper characterizes sex pheromone communication systems in Drosophila by analyzing phylogenetic and chemical traits across 99 species, identifying 51 sex-specific compounds and their roles in reproductive isolation.
