Effect of competitive cues on reproductive morphology and behavioral plasticity in male fruitflies [PDF]
, 2015 Phenotypic plasticity will be favored whenever there are significant fitness benefits of responding to environmental variation. The extent and nature of the plasticity that evolves depends on the rate of environmental fluctuations and the capacity to ...

Multiple Mating and Female Fitness in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Evolution, 1983 All biological processes directly related to reproduction play a role in determining fitness. Collectively, these processes determine the fertility component of fitness, where fertility is defined in its broadest sense. The importance of fertility differences to selection has been demonstrated repeatedly over the past 15 years, particularly in studies ...

Time in a bottle: the evolutionary fate of species discrimination in sibling Drosophila species. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Disadvantageous hybridization favors the evolution of prezygotic isolating behaviors, generating a geographic pattern of interspecific mate discrimination where members of different species drawn from sympatric populations exhibit stronger preference for

Evolution of the sugar receptors in insects
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Perception of sugars is an invaluable ability for insects which often derive quickly accessible energy from these molecules. A distinctive subfamily of eight proteins within the gustatory receptor (Gr) family has been identified as sugar ...
