Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental stress, adaptation and evolution: an overview
Rudolf Bijlsma,Volker Loeschcke +1 more
TL;DR: High-temperature stress and the evolution of thermal resistance in Drosophila and the Plus ca change model explaining stasis and evolution in response to abiotic stress over geological timescales are explained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation genetics in transition to conservation genomics
TL;DR: This work focuses on how the transition of conservation genetics to conservation genomics leads to insights into the dynamics of selectively important variation and its interaction with environmental conditions, and into the mechanisms behind this interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct selection on life-span in drosophila-melanogaster
TL;DR: The longevity of D. melanogaster can be genetically altered in a direct‐selection design, and such an increase is accompanied by a decreased general reproduction and thus early reproduction, support the negative‐pleiotropy–disposable‐soma theory of aging.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does inbreeding affect the extinction risk of small populations?: predictions from Drosophila
TL;DR: It is shown that inbred populations have a significantly higher short‐term probability of extinction than non‐inbred populations, even for low levels of inbreeding, and that the extinction probability increases with increasing inbreeding levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental dependence of inbreeding depression and purging in Drosophila melanogaster
TL;DR: The results show that, except for mutations that affect fitness under all environmental conditions, inbreeding depression may be due to different loci in different environments, and purging of deleterious recessive alleles can be effective only for the particular environment in which the purging occurred.
