Opposite environmental and genetic influences on body size in North American Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
BMC Evol Biol, 2015 Populations of a species often differ in key traits. However, it is rarely known whether these differences are associated with genetic variation and evolved differences between populations, or are instead simply a plastic response to environmental ...

Mating system variation drives rapid evolution of the female transcriptome in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2014 Interactions between the sexes are believed to be a potent source of selection on sex-specific evolution. The way in which sexual interactions influence male investment is much studied, but effects on females are more poorly understood.

How chromosomal rearrangements shape adaptation and speciation: Case studies in Drosophila pseudoobscura and its sibling species Drosophila persimilis [PDF]
Mol Ecol, 2018 The gene arrangements of Drosophila have played a prominent role in the history of evolutionary biology from the original quantification of genetic diversity to current studies of the mechanisms for the origin and establishment of new inversion mutations

Genomic changes following the reversal of a Y chromosome to an autosome in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Evolution, 2017 Robertsonian translocations resulting in fusions between sex chromosomes and autosomes shape karyotype evolution by creating new sex chromosomes from autosomes.

Genomics of Natural Populations: How Differentially Expressed Genes Shape the Evolution of Chromosomal Inversions in Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
Genetics, 2016 Chromosomal rearrangements can shape the structure of genetic variation in the genome directly through alteration of genes at breakpoints or indirectly by holding combinations of genetic variants together due to reduced recombination.

Evidence for Stabilizing Selection on Codon Usage in Chromosomal Rearrangements of Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]
G3 (Bethesda), 2014 There has been a renewed interest in investigating the role of stabilizing selection acting on genome-wide traits such as codon usage bias. Codon bias, when synonymous codons are used at unequal frequencies, occurs in a wide variety of taxa.

A history of studies of reproductive isolation between Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis [PDF]
FlyDrosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis are a sister species pair that have been used as a model for studies of reproductive isolation and speciation for almost 100 years owing to their close evolutionary history, well characterized genetic ...

Parametric alignment of Drosophila genomes. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2006 The classic algorithms of Needleman-Wunsch and Smith-Waterman find a maximum a posteriori probability alignment for a pair hidden Markov model (PHMM). To process large genomes that have undergone complex genome rearrangements, almost all existing whole ...
