Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

Andrew G. Clark, +429 more
- 08 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geographic variation in diapause incidence, life-history traits, and climatic adaptation in Drosophila melanogaster.

TL;DR: The data suggest that, for North American populations, diapause expression is functionally associated with overwintering mechanisms and may be an integral life‐history component in natural populations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of water conservation mechanisms in Drosophila

TL;DR: Lower overall rates of water loss in Drosophila are achieved primarily by reduction of respiratory losses, suggesting that cuticular transpiration did not differ among species from different habitats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polytene Chromosomal Maps of 11 Drosophila Species: The Order of Genomic Scaffolds Inferred From Genetic and Physical Maps

TL;DR: The sequencing of the 12 genomes of members of the genus Drosophila was taken as an opportunity to reevaluate the genetic and physical maps for 11 of the species, in part to aid in the mapping of assembled scaffolds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of water balance in the genus Drosophila

TL;DR: Only one of the three expected adaptive mechanisms, lower rates of water loss, has actually evolved in desert Drosophila, and the other apparently adaptive difference between arid and mesic species (increased dehydration tolerance) instead reflects phylogenetic history.
