This study shows Drosophila melanogaster pigmentation adapts to temperature, competition, diet, and microbiome, indicating a complex selective landscape.

This study uses genomic data from Drosophila melanogaster to show how fitness trade-offs manifest under fluctuating selection, identifying genomic regions linked to reproduction and stress tolerance.

This study maps the genetic architecture of pigmentation evolution in Drosophila melanogaster and finds that while trait direction can be predicted, the specific loci involved are unpredictable and the genotype-phenotype map is stable across populations.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster pigmentation adapts rapidly and deterministically to environmental gradients across multiple timescales through distinct genetic components.
