Batesian mimicry has evolved with deleterious effects of the pleiotropic gene doublesex
Scientific Reports, 2020 Dimorphic female-limited Batesian mimicry in the swallowtail butterfly Papilio polytes is regulated by the supergene locus H, harbouring the mimetic (H) and non-mimetic (h) doublesex (dsx) gene. In the present study, we demonstrated that dsx-H negatively

Doublesex regulates fruitless expression to promote sexual dimorphism of the gonad stem cell niche
, 2021 Doublesex (Dsx) and Fruitless (Fru) are the two downstream transcription factors that actuate Drosophila sex determination. While Dsx assists Fru to regulate sex-specific behavior, whether Fru collaborates with Dsx in regulating other aspects of sexual ...

Sexual dimorphism in the tardigrade Paramacrobiotus metropolitanus transcriptome
Zoological LettersBackground In gonochoristic animals, the sex determination pathway induces different morphological and behavioral features that can be observed between sexes, a condition known as sexual dimorphism.

The Xenopus doublesex-related gene Dmrt5 is required for olfactory placode neurogenesis
Developmental Biology, 2013 The Dmrt (doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor) genes encode a large family of evolutionarily conserved transcription factors whose function in sex specific differentiation has been well studied in all animal lineages. In vertebrates, their function is not restricted to the developing gonads.

Integrative omics reveals clues as to why Cynoglossus semilaevis pseudomales produce no W sperm
Aquaculture ReportsCynoglossus semilaevis (half-smooth tongue sole) is an important aquaculture species that has a ZW/ZZ sex-determination system (females, ZW; males, ZZ). Some genotypic females may develop phenotypic males, and are known as pseudomales (ZW).

The sex-determination genes fruitless and doublesex specify a neural substrate required for courtship song [PDF]
, 2007 Courtship song is a critical component of male courtship behavior in Drosophila, making the female more receptive to copulation and communicating species-specific information [1-6].
