pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Microbial solutions to dietary stress: experimental evolution reveals host-microbiome interplay in... Can the microbiome serve as a reservoir of adaptive potential for hosts? To address this question, we leveraged approximately 150 generations of experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster on a... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Nutritional Adaptation and Microbes: Insights From Drosophila - PubMed Life-history traits such as growth, reproduction, and lifespan in animals are shaped by both genetic and environmental factors, with nutrition being one of the most important environmental factors.... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Wolbachia enhances the survival of Drosophila infected with fungal pathogens - PubMed This study demonstrates Wolbachia's protective role in diverse fungal pathogen interactions and determines that the phenotype is broad, but with several variables that influence both the presence and... 
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Cytoplasmic incompatibility factor proteins from Wolbachia prophage are costly to sperm development... The symbiosis between arthropods and Wolbachia bacteria is globally widespread, largely due to selfish-drive systems that favour the fitness of symbiont-transmitting females. The most common drive,... pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Chronic bacterial infections exert metabolic costs in Drosophila melanogaster - PubMed Bacterial infections can substantially impact host metabolic health as a result of the direct and indirect demands of sustaining an immune response and of nutrient piracy by the pathogen itself....
