This study investigates how directional and balancing selection influence mitochondrial haplotype evolution in Drosophila melanogaster under different thermal environments and genetic backgrounds.

The paper investigates how different dietary macronutrient conditions affect insulin-like peptide expression and developmental outcomes in Drosophila.

This study shows that NPFR in Drosophila prothoracic gland regulates development by modulating ecdysone production and insulin signaling, linking feeding behavior to developmental timing.
