Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.The study expands genomic resources for Drosophila and Scaptodrosophila species by using mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed well‐supported evolutionary relationships, with Scaptodrosophila forming a distinct lineage and several Drosophila subgroups exhibiting monophyly, though discrepancies were found in the placement of the suzukii ...

Highly Contiguous Genome Assemblies of 15 Drosophila Species Generated Using Nanopore Sequencing
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018 The Drosophila genus is a unique group containing a wide range of species that occupy diverse ecosystems. In addition to the most widely studied species, Drosophila melanogaster, many other members in this genus also possess a well-developed set of ...

Long‐Term Maintenance of Complex Chromosomal Inversion Polymorphism in Drosophila mediopunctata
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.It has become increasingly clear that natural selection favors haplotypes that draw functionally related genes together, often targeting mechanisms that control recombination rates. In this paper, we show that the long‐term maintenance of linkage disequilibrium between linked non‐overlapping chromosomal inversions in a Drosophila species may arise from

BMC Genomics, 2003 Background Non-coding DNA represents a high proportion of all metazoan genomes. Although an undetermined fraction of this DNA may be considered devoid of any function, it also contains important information residing in specific cis-regulatory sequences ...

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 ...

High frequency of microsatellites in Drosophila pseudoobscura.
Genes & Genetic Systems, 2000 Using 30,000 bp of anonymous sequence data, we note that dinucleotide repeat arrays appear to be much more common in Drosophila pseudoobscura than in D. melanogaster or D. simulans. Repeat arrays bearing five or more units are situated on average once every 3000 bp in D. pseudoobscura, and repeat arrays bearing ten or more units are situated on average

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
