eLife, 2020 For successful mating, a male animal must execute effective courtship behaviors toward a receptive target sex, which is female. Whether the courtship execution capability and upregulation of courtship toward females are specified through separable sex ...

Non-coding changes cause sex-specific wing size differences between closely related species of Nasonia. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 The genetic basis of morphological differences among species is still poorly understood. We investigated the genetic basis of sex-specific differences in wing size between two closely related species of Nasonia by positional cloning a major male-specific

Fruitless, doublesex and the genetics of social behavior in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2009 Two genes coding for transcription factors, fruitless and doublesex, have been suggested to play important roles in the regulation of sexually dimorphic patterns of social behavior in Drosophila melanogaster. The generalization that fruitless specified the development of the nervous system and doublesex specified non-neural tissues culminated with ...

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 Helicoverpa armigera is a globally-important crop pest with a WZ (female)/ZZ (male) sex chromosome system. The absence of discernible sexual dimorphism in its egg and larval stages makes it impossible to address any sex-related theoretical and applied ...

Neural circuitry coordinating male copulation
eLife, 2016 Copulation is the goal of the courtship process, crucial to reproductive success and evolutionary fitness. Identifying the circuitry underlying copulation is a necessary step towards understanding universal principles of circuit operation, and how ...

Tracing the origin and evolution of supergene mimicry in butterflies
Nature Communications, 2017 Wing pattern mimicry in the butterfly Papilio polytes is controlled by a single Mendelian locus, the mimicry supergene doublesex. Here, Zhang and colleagues reconstruct the complex evolutionary history of the doublesex supergene and mimicry in the ...
