TL;DR: Thr-Gly length variation from both wild-caught and transgenic individuals is related to the flies' ability to maintain a circadian period at different temperatures and gives a rare glimpse of the interplay between molecular polymorphism, behavior, population biology, and natural selection.

TL;DR: The first genome sequence of a nondipteran insect vector of an important human parasitic disease is described, which provides critical information on the physiology and evolution of this important vector species and should be instrumental for the development of innovative disease control methods.

TL;DR: In addition to the peritrophic matrix and exoskeleton, these findings confirm chitin is also present in the mosquito serosal cuticle, and point to the role of the chitInized SC in the desiccation resistance of Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Latitudinal Cline in a Drosophila Clock Gene
TL;DR: The geographical analysis of polymorphism within Europe and North Africa suggests the possibility that the length polymorphism could be maintained by thermal selection because the threonine-glycine region has been shown to provide thermostability to the circadian phenotype.
