Evolutionäre Anpassungen ermöglichen es der Taufliege Drosophila busckii giftige Nahrungsquellen aufzuspüren und zu nutzen. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology in Jena have discovered that the fruit fly Drosophila busckii has developed a tolerance to the toxic sulfur compound dimethyldisulfide (DMDS). Drosophila busckii could be a useful model to study the evolution of resistance to toxic gases and to shed light on ecological adaptations.
