The Genetics and Biology of Drosophila, edited by M. Ashburner and E. Novitski, is a comprehensive three-volume series that aims to collate and make accessible the extensive literature on Drosophila melanogaster. Drosophila has been a pivotal model organism for understanding heredity, with a rich history of genetic studies and manipulations. The series covers formal genetics (Volumes 1a, 1b, 1c), biology and development (Volume 2), and evolution and ecology (Volume 3). It serves as an invaluable reference for researchers, advanced students, and biologists interested in Drosophila research, offering insights into both pure genetics and sophisticated studies in neurobiology and ecology. Published by Academic Press, the series is a significant contribution to the field of genetics and biology.The Genetics and Biology of Drosophila, edited by M. Ashburner and E.
