The genetics of Drosophila subobscura populations
TL;DR: An estimate of the effective size of a natural, Greek population of Drosophila subobscura, based on data on lethal allelism, is presented and further estimates for the same population obtained from newly-reported data by the “temporal” and the ”ecological” methods are compared.
Altered Acetylcholinesterase Confers Organophosphate Resistance in the Olive Fruit Fly Bactrocera oleae

TL;DR: Combined biochemical and bioassay data suggested that, although esterase and/or glutathione S -transferase metabolic pathways were present and active against dimethoate, they were not selected for and did not have a major role in resistance.

Genetic Diversity of Major Greek Olive Cultivars Using Molecular (AFLPs and RAPDs) Markers and Morphological Traits
TL;DR: According to the molecular results, olive cultivars are clustered according to fruit size but not according to geographical origin, and can be considered as ancient Greek cultivars.
Genic versus chromosomal variation in natural populations of Drosophila subobscura.
TL;DR: The results suggest that disequilibria among enzyme loci are not widespread in natural populations and do not support the hypothesis that selection in marginal homokaryotypic populations is for specialized homozygous genotypes.
Genetic relationships among species and cultivars of Pistacia using RAPDs and AFLPs
TL;DR: Molecular markers, derived from two different methods, RAPD and AFLP, are used to study the relationships of native and introduced Pistacia species present in Greece and the four female cultivars were found to have a narrow genetic basis.
