This study shows that gut microbes influence germline stem cell proliferation in Drosophila by modulating metabolism, circadian genes, and hormonal signaling across tissues.

This study shows that microbiome composition affects thermal tolerance and reproduction in Drosophila basisetae, with population-specific and environmentally-dependent effects.

The study investigates how abiotic factors influence microbiome assembly in Hawaiian Drosophila, finding that elevation, temperature, rainfall, and evapotranspiration drive microbial community composition more than phylogenetic relatedness.

The paper investigates microbiome network stability across different environments and identifies key factors like gatekeeper species and negative interactions that contribute to robustness.

This study shows Drosophila melanogaster females prefer longer sperm regardless of mating order and can adjust this preference based on factors like pheromones, indicating female-mediated cryptic choice.

This study shows that the pigmentation genes ebony and tan in Drosophila also influence cuticular hydrocarbon composition, with loss-of-function mutants showing distinct CHC profiles.

This study investigates the impact of the Drosophila microbiome on sleep, activity, and courtship behaviors, finding limited influence.
