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 ...

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 ...

Mind the gap: upgrading genomes with Pacific Biosciences RS long-read sequencing technology. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Many genomes have been sequenced to high-quality draft status using Sanger capillary electrophoresis and/or newer short-read sequence data and whole genome assembly techniques. However, even the best draft genomes contain gaps and other imperfections due

No evidence for learned mating discrimination in male
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2006 Background Since females often pay a higher cost for heterospecific matings, mate discrimination and species recognition are driven primarily by female choice.

SELECTION BY FERTILITY IN DROSOPHILA PSEUDOOBSCURA [PDF]
Genetics, 1974 ABSTRACT Fertility, the component of selection due to female fecundity and male mating success, differed significantly among the ST/ST, ST/AR, and AR/AR karyotypes in experimental populations and varied with karyotypic frequency. In relation to ST/AR, ST/ST females and males had higher fertilities at low frequency; AR/AR males and ...

Recombination modulates how selection affects linked sites in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 One of the most influential observations in molecular evolution has been a strong association between regional recombination rate and amount of nucleotide polymorphism in those genomic regions, interpreted as evidence for ubiquitous natural selection ...

How hot are drosophila hotspots? examining recombination rate variation and associations with nucleotide diversity, divergence, and maternal age in Drosophila pseudoobscura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Fine scale meiotic recombination maps have uncovered a large amount of variation in crossover rate across the genomes of many species, and such variation in mammalian and yeast genomes is concentrated to

Strong founder effect in Drosophila pseudoobscura colonizing New Zealand from North America [PDF]
, 2002 The North American native species Drosophila pseudoobscura was first identified in New Zealand in the last few decades. Here, we have studied the genetic consequences of its spread across the Pacific Ocean.
