Body size evolution as a catalyst for diversification of copulation strategies and its spillover effects on genital evolution and phylogenetic divergence in terrestrial arthropods

Population Ecology, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 191-207, July 2025.
A scenario in which divergent selection derived from ecological environments leads to genital divergence through body size evolution. Abstract To explore how ecological diversity contributes to the establishment of ecologically similar species with sexual divergence, this review focuses on body size—an environmentally influenced trait that determines ...

Phylogenomic Analysis Reveals Evolutionary Relationships of Tropical Drosophilidae: From Drosophila to Scaptodrosophila

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
The study expands genomic resources for Drosophila and Scaptodrosophila species by using mitochondrial genomes. Phylogenetic analyses revealed well‐supported evolutionary relationships, with Scaptodrosophila forming a distinct lineage and several Drosophila subgroups exhibiting monophyly, though discrepancies were found in the placement of the suzukii ...

Long‐Term Maintenance of Complex Chromosomal Inversion Polymorphism in Drosophila mediopunctata

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
It has become increasingly clear that natural selection favors haplotypes that draw functionally related genes together, often targeting mechanisms that control recombination rates. In this paper, we show that the long‐term maintenance of linkage disequilibrium between linked non‐overlapping chromosomal inversions in a Drosophila species may arise from

Evolutionary Rearrangement of the Amylase Genomic Regions Between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila pseudoobscura [PDF]

, 2020
Two Drosophila pseudoobscura genomic clones have sequence similarity to the Drosophila melanogaster amylase region that maps to the 53CD region on the D. melanogaster cytogenetic map.

Evolution of sex‐biased genes in Drosophila species with neo‐sex chromosomes: Potential contribution to reducing the sexual conflict

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
In theory, having sex chromosomes is advantageous to reduce sexual conflict. Our analyses revealed that many genes have acquired the sex‐biased expression on the neo‐sex chromosomes particularly at the larval stage. Our study indicates that cryptic sexual conflict at the preadult stages cannot be ignored, and some of these conflicts may have been ...

Comparative genome sequencing of Drosophila pseudoobscura: Chromosomal, gene, and cis-element evolution

, 2005
We have sequenced the genome of a second Drosophila species, Drosophila pseudoobscura, and compared this to the genome sequence of Drosophila melanogaster, a primary model organism. Throughout evolution the vast majority of Drosophila genes have remained

Dysfunction of Drosophila mitochondrial carrier homolog (Mtch) alters apoptosis and disturbs development

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 ...
