Not sure It's thought that multicellular organisms have codon usage patterns which reflect gene-to-gene variation in nucleotide composition rather than selection on synonymous codons Unicellular organisms seem to show more selection for abundant tRNAs. This is not always the case, though. (I also don't really trust inferences made for all unicellular organisms based on E.coli and S.cerevisiae, which have been selected for many generations to replicate as quickly as possible.) The pattern of Drosophila resembles that of humans, but the highly expressed genes have higher G+C content.
