+The transposon Galileo generates natural chromosomal inversions in Drosophila by ectopic recombination.

+[[!pmid 19936241 desc="In _D. buzzatii_, the 2z(3) inversion is flanked by several transposable elements, among which two Galileo repeats (cut-and-paste mechanism, members of the P element family), that “(i) are inserted in opposite orientation; (ii) present exchanged target site duplications; and (iii) are both chimeric”, suggesting ectopic recombination."]]
_D. melanogaster_'s development time course at different temperatures was fitted
to the Arrhenius law in [[Crapse and coll., 2021|biblio/34414660]].
