This book focuses on drosophila as an especially useful model organism for exploring
questions of evolutionary biology in the full range of evolutionary studies: population …

Ten years ago, Joseph Felsenstein (35) and I (56) both wrote reviews discussing the
maintenance of genetic polymorphisms in heterogeneous environments. I addressed the …

Why do females typically mate with more than one male? Female mating patterns have
broad implications for sexual selection,, speciation and conflicts of interest between the …

1. Species of the genus Drosophila reproduce in a wide range of different resources,
including fruits, sap, flowers, mushrooms and cacti. Drosophila species and their resources …

In this paper, I consider the criteria necessary to demonstrate the postcopulatory ability of
females to favor the sperm of one conspecific male over another, that is, sperm choice. In …

The combination of ecological diversity with genetic and experimental tractability makes
Drosophila a powerful model for the study of animal-associated microbial communities …

The southern portion of the Chihuahuan Desert of subtropical north central Mexico (110,
186, 250, 254, 255, 262, 311) extends from the vicinity of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosi …

In Drosophila, microbial association can promote development or extend life. We tested the
impact of microbial association during malnutrition and show that microbial quantity is a …

Yeasts play an important role in nutrition physiology and host attraction of many Drosophila
species, and associations with various yeast species are documented for several …

Many Drosophila species differ widely in their distributions and climate niches, making them
excellent subjects for evolutionary genomic studies. Here, we have developed a database of …
