1.
Krebs R, Roberts S, Bettencourt B, Feder M
J Evol Biol . 2017 Dec; 14(1):75-82. PMID: 29280581
To examine how the duration of laboratory domestication may affect Drosophila stocks used in studies of thermotolerance, we measured expression of the inducible heat-shock protein Hsp70 and survival after heat...
2.
Feder M, Roberts S, Bordelon A
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 123(4):460-465. PMID: 28308753
The expression of two temperature-sensitive reporter genes, hsp70 and an hsp70-LacZ fusion, in free-ranging adult Drosophila melanogaster indicates that natural thermal stress experienced by such small and mobile insects may...
3.
Roberts S, Feder M
Oecologia . 2017 Mar; 121(3):323-329. PMID: 28308320
We demonstrate that natural heat stress on wild larval Drosophila melanogaster results in severe developmental defects in >10% of eclosing adults, and that increased copy number of the gene encoding...

Chen B, Walser J, Rodgers T, Sobota R, Burke M, Rose M, et al.
J Evol Biol . 2007 Aug; 20(5):2056-66. PMID: 17714322
The present study extends evidence that Drosophila heat-shock genes are distinctively evolvable because of insertion of transposable elements by examining the genotypic diversity and phenotypic consequences of naturally occurring P...
5.
Rashkovetsky E, Iliadi K, Michalak P, Lupu A, Nevo E, Feder M, et al.
Heredity (Edinb) . 2006 Mar; 96(5):353-9. PMID: 16552433
We examined whether a remarkable occurrence - the physiological evolution of two Drosophila melanogaster populations, despite a spatial separation of only 100-400 m, was idiosyncratic and temporary, or persisted over...
6.
Feder M, Walser J
J Evol Biol . 2005 Jul; 18(4):901-10. PMID: 16033562
Global analysis of mRNA abundance via genomic arrays (i.e. transcriptomics or transcriptional profiling) is one approach to finding the genes that matter to organisms undergoing environmental stress. In evolutionary analyses...

Krebs R, Feder M
J Insect Physiol . 2003 May; 44(11):1091-1101. PMID: 12770408
Heat shock proteins (Hsps) and other molecular chaperones perform diverse cellular roles (e.g., inducible thermotolerance) whose functional consequences are concentration dependent. We manipulated Hsp70 concentration quantitatively in intact larvae of...

Michalak P, Minkov I, Helin A, Lerman D, Bettencourt B, Feder M, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2001 Nov; 98(23):13195-200. PMID: 11687637
Substantial genetic differentiation, as great as among species, exists between populations of Drosophila melanogaster inhabiting opposite slopes of a small canyon. Previous work has shown that prezygotic sexual isolation and...

Zatsepina O, Velikodvorskaia V, Molodtsov V, Garbuz D, Lerman D, Bettencourt B, et al.
J Exp Biol . 2001 Jul; 204(Pt 11):1869-81. PMID: 11441029
Drosophila melanogaster collected in sub-equatorial Africa in the 1970s are remarkably tolerant of sustained laboratory culture above 30 degrees C and of acute exposure to much warmer temperatures. Inducible thermotolerance...

Bettencourt B, Feder M
Mol Biol Evol . 2001 Jun; 18(7):1272-82. PMID: 11420366
To determine how the modern copy number (5) of hsp70 genes in Drosophila melanogaster evolved, we localized the duplication events that created the genes in the phylogeny of the melanogaster...
