PROGRAM 13th DrosEU-consortium meeting: 8th and 9th of May 2023, Wageningen. Evolutionary genomics of adaptation in natural populations

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation is a fundamental question in evolutionary biology with far-reaching implications, including for climate change, biodiversity, biological invasion, pest control, and plant and animal health. How environmental change affects the genetic composition of populations is still poorly understood: questions such as how rapidly adaptation can occur, and at what spatialcontinue …

Life History Traits in Two Drosophila Species Differently Affected by Microbiota Diversity under Lead Exposure

Beribaka, M.; Jelić, M.; Tanasković, M.; Lazić, C.; Stamenković-Radak, M. Life History Traits in Two Drosophila Species Differently Affected by Microbiota Diversity under Lead Exposure. Insects 2021, 12, 1122. Simple Summary Microbiota have a significant functional role in the life of the host, including immunity, lifespan and reproduction. Drosophila species are attractive model organisms for investigating microbiota diversity from different aspects duecontinue …

Opportunities

The data obtained by the European citizen science project #MelanogasterCTF was used to create the Drosophila Evolution over Space and Time (DEST), the world’s largest fruit fly genomic data repository.

The European Drosophila Population Genomics Consortium (DrosEU), together with the North American Real Time Evolution Consortium (DrosRTEC) has published a new article, Drosophila Evolution over Space and Time (DEST) – A new population genomics resource, in the prestigious journal Molecular Biology and Evolution using, among other samples, the samples of natural populations of Drosophila melanogastercontinue …

Melanogaster Catch The Fly!

Josefa González and her team at the Laboratory of Evolutionary and Functional Genomics are leading the Melanogaster Catch the Fly outreach project. This is the first European citizen science network in adaptation genomics. Through direct involvement, the proposal aims to bring science to students and teachers within the framework of the first scientific project in genomics adaptationcontinue …
