Progress and Prospects in Evolutionary Biology: The Drosophila Model

by Jeffrey R. Powell

This book focuses on drosophila as an especially useful model organism for exploring questions of evolutionary biology in the full range of evolutionary population genetics, ecology, ecological genetics, speciation, phylogenetics, genome evolution, molecular evolution, and development. The author presents an integrated view of evolutionary biology as elucidated in this single organism. Special effort is made to point out holes in our knowledge and areas particularly ripe for new investigation.

Very thorough, but kind of outdated at this point. But still, if you work in Drosophila it's probably a good idea to read this book. Foundations!! Seriously, crazy thorough.
