TL;DR: These analyses uncover longitudinal population structure, provide evidence for continent-wide selective sweeps, identify candidate genes for local climate adaptation, and document clines in chromosomal inversion and transposable element frequencies in European Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the 3' UTR deletion has been a target of selection for its ability to confer increased levels of MtnA expression in northern European populations, likely due to a local adaptive advantage of increased oxidative stress tolerance.

TL;DR: The first analysis of the first DrosEU pool-sequencing dataset is presented, consisting of 48 population samples collected across the European continent in 2014, and reveals novel aspects of the population biology of D. melanogaster and illustrates the power of extensive sampling and pooled sequencing of natural populations on a continent-wide scale.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the DrosEU and DrosRTEC consortia for their long-standing support, collaboration, and for discussion, and they are grateful to the members of the Consortia and to the European Society for Evolutionary Biology (ESEB).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported fourteen DNA viruses detected in a metagenomic analysis of 6668 pool-sequenced Drosophila, sampled from forty-seven European locations between 2014 and 2016.
