Temporalchanges in relative frequencies of third chromosome inversions of Drosophila pseudoobscura in Mexican populations [PDF]
, 2008 Variations in relative frequencies of third chromosome inversions during 1974-2000 in three populations of D. pseudoobscura from Mexico were analyzed. The general constitution of these populations is formed from ten up to 15 different inversions, been ...

Mating system manipulation and the evolution of sex-biased gene expression in Drosophila
Nature Communications, 2017 Sexual selection on males is thought to favour male-biased gene expression. Here, Veltsos et al. experimentally evolve Drosophila pseudoobscura under different mating systems and, contrary to expectation, most often find masculinization of the ...

Can patterns of chromosome inversions in Drosophila pseudoobscura predict polyandry across a geographical cline? [PDF]
, 2016 Journal ArticleFemale multiple mating, known as polyandry, is ubiquitous and occurs in a wide variety of taxa. Polyandry varies greatly from species in which females mate with one or two males in their lifetime to species in which females may mate with ...

Geographical changes in relative frequency of inversions in chromosome III of Drosophila pseudoobscura among natural populations from Mexico [PDF]
, 2009 Chromosomal polymorphism in natural populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura have been broadly studied in the USA but scarcely in Mexico where only about 60 localities have been analyzed.

The Elaborate Postural Display of Courting Drosophila persimilis Flies Produces Substrate-Borne Vibratory Signals. [PDF]
, 2016 Sexual selection has led to the evolution of extraordinary and elaborate male courtship behaviors across taxa, including mammals and birds, as well as some species of flies.

Complex Evolutionary History of the Y Chromosome in Flies of the Drosophila obscura Species Group. [PDF]
, 2020 The Drosophila obscura species group shows dramatic variation in karyotype, including transitions among sex chromosomes. Members of the affinis and pseudoobscura subgroups contain a neo-X chromosome (a fusion of the X with an autosome), and ancestral Y ...

Evidence that Natural Selection on Codon Usage in Drosophila pseudoobscura Varies Across Codons
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2014 Like other species of Drosophila, Drosophila pseudoobscura has a distinct bias toward the usage of C- and G-ending codons. Previous studies have indicated that this bias is due, at least in part, to natural selection.

Inversion polymorphism in some natural populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura from central Mexico [PDF]
, 2007 Samples of D. pseudoobscura were taken in seventeen localities in Central Mexico inside the parallels 18o - 20o N, with the purpose of determine the chromosomal polymorphism in the third of the different populations of this species.

Principles of genome evolution in the Drosophila melanogaster species group. [PDF]
, 2007 That closely related species often differ by chromosomal inversions was discovered by Sturtevant and Plunkett in 1926. Our knowledge of how these inversions originate is still very limited, although a prevailing view is that they are facilitated by ...
