The Functions of the Multiproduct and Rapidly Evolving \u3cem\u3edec-1\u3c/em\u3e Eggshell Gene Are Conserved Between Evolutionarily Distant Species of Drosophila [PDF]
, 2001 The Drosophila dec-1 gene encodes multiple proteins that are required for female fertility and proper eggshell morphogenesis. Genetic and immunolocalization data suggest that the different DEC-1 proteins are functionally distinct.

Epistasis among Drosophila persimilis factors conferring hybrid male sterility with D. pseudoobscura bogotana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller model posits that hybrid incompatibilities result from genetic changes that accumulate during population divergence.

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 276-289, February 2024.Mitochondrial carrier homologs 1 (MTCH1) and 2 (MTCH2) are outer mitochondrial membrane translocases related to inner membrane carriers. In humans, MTCH1 interacts with presenilin 1 and induces apoptosis upon overexpression. We show here that the Drosophila ortholog is required for development, inducing apoptosis upon its downregulation both in the ...

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 ...
