Meiotic transmission of Drosophila pseudoobscura chromosomal arrangements. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2007 Drosophila pseudoobscura harbors a rich gene arrangement polymorphism on the third chromosome generated by a series of overlapping paracentric inversions.

De novo transcriptome assembly reveals sex-specific selection acting on evolving neo-sex chromosomes in Drosophila miranda. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundThe Drosophila miranda neo-sex chromosome system is a useful resource for studying recently evolved sex chromosomes. However, the neo-Y genomic assembly is fragmented due to the accumulation of repetitive sequence.

Ethology, Volume 129, Issue 10, Page 515-526, October 2023., 2023 Our study in Tenebrio molitor employed behavioral and proteomic analyses to establish a correlation between female mate choice and molecular changes in the female brain. We found that females preferred mating with more attractive males, who in turn had a greater likelihood of successfully mating and producing more larvae with attractive males than with

PLoS Genetics, 2009 In nature, closely related species may hybridize while still retaining their distinctive identities. Chromosomal regions that experience reduced recombination in hybrids, such as within inversions, have been hypothesized to contribute to the maintenance ...

Mistaken Identity: Another Bias in the Use of Relative Genetic Divergence Measures for Detecting Interspecies Introgression. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Measures of genetic divergence have long been used to identify evolutionary processes operating within and between species. However, recent reviews have described a bias in the use of relative divergence measures towards incorrectly identifying genomic ...

Massive gene amplification on a recently formed Drosophila Y chromosome. [PDF]
, 2019 Widespread loss of genes on the Y is considered a hallmark of sex chromosome differentiation. Here we show that the initial stages of Y evolution are driven by massive amplification of distinct classes of genes. The neo-Y chromosome of Drosophila miranda

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 13, Page 3605-3623, July 2023., 2023 Abstract Early lineage diversification is central to understand what mutational events drive species divergence. Particularly, gene misregulation in interspecific hybrids can inform about what genes and pathways underlie hybrid dysfunction. In Drosophila hybrids, how regulatory evolution impacts different reproductive tissues remains understudied. Here,

Sex-specific embryonic gene expression in species with newly evolved sex chromosomes. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2014 Sex chromosome dosage differences between females and males are a significant form of natural genetic variation in many species. Like many species with chromosomal sex determination, Drosophila females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and ...

Inversions in the third chromosome of wild races of Drosophila pseudoobscura, and their use in the study of the history of the species [PDF]
, 1936 Genetic studies showed several years ago that the third chromosomes of wild strains of Drosophila pseudoobscura often carry suppressors of crossing-over.

Identification of male- and female-specific olfaction genes in antennae of the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) [PDF]
, 2016 The oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is a species of tephritid fruit fly, endemic to Southeast Asia but also introduced to many regions of the US, and it is one of the major pest species with a broad host range of cultivated and wild fruits ...
