Transposable Element Dynamics in Drosophila suzukii: Characterization and Implications for Food Consumption-Related Genes.

Drosophila suzukii, a species native to southeast Asia, is a major pest of berry and stone fruit crops. This species has invaded Europe and the Americas in just a few decades, becoming a global concern to agriculture. In contrast to other flies, D. suzukii infests ripening fruits, causing substantial economic losses wo...
