Journal ArticleDOI
Seasonal cues induce phenotypic plasticity of Drosophila suzukii to enhance winter survival
Peter W. Shearer,Jessica D. West,Vaughn M. Walton,Preston H. Brown,Nicolas Svetec,Joanna C. Chiu +5 more
TL;DR: Investigating D. suzukii phenology and seasonal adaptations can lead to a better understanding of the mechanisms through which insects express phenotypic plasticity, which likely enables invasive species to successfully colonize a wide range of environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parallel Gene Expression Differences between Low and High Latitude Populations of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans
TL;DR: Highly differentiated SNPs between low and high latitudes were enriched in the 3’ UTRs and CDS of the geographically differently expressed genes in both species, consistent with an important role for cis-acting variants in driving local adaptation for expression-related phenotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testis single-cell RNA-seq reveals the dynamics of de novo gene transcription and germline mutational bias in Drosophila.
TL;DR: By elucidating the distribution of genetic novelties across spermatogenesis, this study provides a deeper understanding of how the testis maintains its core reproductive function while being a hotbed of evolutionary innovation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social experience and pheromonal perception can change male-male interactions in Drosophila melanogaster.
TL;DR: The effect of social experience was greatly enhanced between transgenic males partially defective for pheromonal perception, indicating that male inhibitory pheromones are normally used to repress male–male interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene–environment interplay in Drosophila melanogaster: Chronic food deprivation in early life affects adult exploratory and fitness traits
James G. Burns,Nicolas Svetec,Locke Rowe,Frederic Mery,Michael J. Dolan,W. Thomas Boyce,Marla B. Sokolowski +6 more
TL;DR: The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is used to show that chronic early nutritional adversity interacts with rover and sitter allelic variants of foraging (for) to affect adult exploratory behavior, a phenotype that is critical for foraging, and reproductive fitness.
