How chromosomal inversions reorient the evolutionary process
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 1761-1782, December 2023., 2023 Inversions often play key roles in adaptation and speciation, but the processes that direct their evolution are obscured by the characteristic that makes them so unique (reduced recombination between arrangements). In this review, we examine how different mechanisms can impact inversion evolution, weaving together both theoretical and empirical studies.

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

Functional Evolution of a cis-Regulatory Module [PDF]
, 2005 Lack of knowledge about how regulatory regions evolve in relation to their structure–function may limit the utility of comparative sequence analysis in deciphering cis-regulatory sequences.

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,

An Improved Method for Identification of Pre-miRNA in
IEEE Access, 2020 Identification of microRNAs is important in studies of regulation of gene expression in many biologyical processes. In this study, we developed an improved method for identification of microRNAs in Drosophila.

An investigation of Y chromosome incorporations in 400 species of Drosophila and related genera. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Y chromosomes are widely believed to evolve from a normal autosome through a process of massive gene loss (with preservation of some male genes), shaped by sex-antagonistic selection and complemented by occasional gains of male-related genes.

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 1291-1303, May 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Reproduction is generally more sensitive to high temperatures than survival and arguably a better predictor of the response of populations to climate change than survival estimates.

Dispersal kernel of green rice leafhopper estimated from truncated data
Population Ecology, Volume 65, Issue 2, Page 111-120, April 2023., 2023 Using truncated mark‐recapture data at three host plant development stages (seedling, tillering, and heading), we estimated untruncated parameters of the normal and exponential dispersal kernels for green rice leafhopper by maximum likelihood and the method of moments.

Species interactions and diversity: a unified framework using Hill numbers
Oikos, Volume 2023, Issue 3, March 2023., 2023 Biodiversity describes the variety of organisms on planet earth. Ecologists have long hoped for a synthesis between analyses of biodiversity and analyses of biotic interactions among species, such as predation, competition and mutualism. However, it is often unclear how to connect details of these interactions with complex modern analyses of ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 The parasitoid Leptopilina heterotoma has been used as a model system in biology for more than 70 years. This review aims to provide a broad and detailed synthesis of the work performed on this system, including immunity, behavioral ecology, endosymbiotic and trophic interactions, as well as physiology.
