We aim at identifying all adaptive transposable element insertions in Drosophila melanogaster natural populations

Molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive mutations

We want to understand how adaptive mutations induce phenotypic changes

Fitness traits most relevant for adaptation

We aim at elucidating which phenotypic traits play an important role in adaptive evolution
