Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 12, Page 3374-3388, June 2022., 2022 Abstract Post copulatory interactions between the sexes in internally fertilizing species elicits both sexual conflict and sexual selection. Macroevolutionary and comparative studies have linked these processes to rapid transcriptomic evolution in sex‐specific tissues and substantial transcriptomic post mating responses in females, patterns of which ...

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 ...

Marking Drosophila suzukii (Diptera : Drosophilidae) with fluorescent dusts [PDF]
, 2020 The marking of Drosophila suzukii can be an important instrument for studying the ecology and behaviour of this economically important fruit pest, aiding the development of new Integrated Pest Management (IPM) tools or strategies.

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

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

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 ...

Visualizing septins in early Drosophila embryos [PDF]
Methods in Cell Biology, Elsevier, 2016, Septins, 136, pp.183, 2016 Functional studies in Drosophila have been key for establishing a role for the septin family of proteins in animal cell division and thus extending for the first time observations from the budding yeast to animal cells. Visualizing the distribution of specific septins in different Drosophila tissues and, in particular, in the Drosophila embryo ...

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.

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.

Evaluation of different reference based annotation strategies using RNA-Seq - a case study in Drososphila pseudoobscura. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 RNA-Seq is a powerful tool for the annotation of genomes, in particular for the identification of isoforms and UTRs. Nevertheless, several software tools exist and no standard strategy to obtain a reliable annotation is yet established.
