果蝇属的苍蝇，特别是黑腹果蝇，是最著名的实验室生物。与所有模式生物一样，它们被驯化用于实证研究，但它们也继续作为野生种群存在。实验室对这些果蝇进行了数十年的研究，对基本生物过程产生了令人震惊和重要的见解，但我们只触及了它们作为研究生物所提供的表面。现在的一个突出挑战是在这些知识的基础上探索自然历史如何塑造黑腹果蝇，以增进我们对生物学的更广泛的理解。 DOI：http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.06793.001
Flies of the genus Drosophila, and particularly those of the species Drosophila melanogaster, are best known as laboratory organisms. As with all model organisms, they were domesticated for empirical studies, but they also continue to exist as wild populations. Decades of research on these flies in the laboratory have produced astounding and important insights into basic biological processes, but we have only scratched the surface of what they have to offer as research organisms. An outstanding challenge now is to build on this knowledge and explore how natural history has shaped D. melanogaster in order to advance our understanding of biology more generally.
