The result suggests that flies, with their short generation time, can cope genetically with climate change, he notes, whereas longer-lived organisms, such as large trees, are unlikely to be as flexible.

As the climate has changed over the past few decades, so too has the genetic make-up of fruit flies, a new study has found.
