Comparative studies are essential for uncovering shared and divergent biological principles. Insects, with their extraordinary diversity, rich natural histories, and increasing experimental tractabil…

How do diverse brain cells change over evolution? By comparing single-cell transcriptomic atlases from ecologically-distinct drosophilid species, this work identifies changes in the composition and ge...

Dürr et al. develop advanced genetic tools in the host specialist D. sechellia to study its olfactory system neuroanatomy. They show via single-cell labeling, tracing, and quantitative comparison of o...

Democracy thrives when people’s voices are heard. Send a message to your legislatures using EFF's simple new tool.

Sensory neurons must be reproducibly specified to permit accurate neural representation of external signals but also able to change during evolution. We studied this paradox in the Drosophila olfactor...

We used hemiclonal analysis in Drosophila melanogaster to test for genetic variation in the strength of male mate choice for large females, a common male preference in insects. We found additive vari...

Sociability, an animal's ease and propensity to interact with members of its own species, is a prerequisite for many important social interactions including courtship, mating, brood rearing, and colle...

Yes, the ex-president’s soothing voice was made to narrate this gorgeous wildlife programme. But the absolutely majestic visuals are the real star

We provide evidence that circadian plasticity has diverged through evolution of the neuropeptide gene Pdf, conferring a selective advantage for Drosophila melanogaster at elevated latitude, whereas Dr...
