TL;DR: The authors used Oxford Nanopore sequencing to build an open community resource of genome assemblies for 101 lines of 93 drosophilid species encompassing 14 species groups and 35 sub-groups.

TL;DR: Oxford Nanopore sequencing is utilized to build an open community resource of high-quality assemblies for 101 lines of 95 drosophilid species encompassing 14 species groups and 35 sub-groups with an average contig N50 of 10.5 Mb and greater than 97% BUSCO completeness in 97/101 assemblies.

TL;DR: Assessment of differences in whole‐organism metabolic rate of adult Drosophila subobscura fruit flies carrying either of three different sympatric mtDNA haplotypes finds no significant nuclear or mitonuclear genetic effects on metabolic rate, consistent with a low degree of linkage disequilibrium between mitochondrial and nuclear genes within populations.

TL;DR: The observed effects suggest that sex specific mitonuclear selection contributes to the maintenance of mtDNA polymorphism and to miton nuclear linkage disequilibrium in this model system.

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).
