Species diversification has fuelled biological research for nearly 3 centuries. The stakes nowadays, are to understand the mechanisms that have produced the variation we see across the tree of life. We use a flurry of Drosophila species to decipher the principles of animal diversification. We examine how transcriptional enhancers emerge and tune pigmentation patterns on fly wings over evolutionary time. We also try to decipher how flies have diversified their reproductive behaviors through genetic and neuronal changes
