Sexual conflict as a constraint on asexual reproduction: an empirical review
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2681-2706, December 2025.ABSTRACT Theory predicts that facultatively asexual animals, which can leverage the advantages of both sexual and asexual reproduction, should outcompete obligately sexual and obligately asexual animals. Yet, paradoxically, obligate sexual reproduction predominates in many animal lineages, while the most flexible form of facultative asexuality (i.e ...

Population genomics of Drosophila pseudoobscura
Abstract Drosophila pseudoobscura is a long-standing model organism in evolutionary genetics because natural populations segregate for an inversion polymorphism on the third chromosome. In addition, D.

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 643-652, November 2025.Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,

Epistasis among Drosophila persimilis factors conferring hybrid male sterility with D. pseudoobscura bogotana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The Bateson-Dobzhansky-Muller model posits that hybrid incompatibilities result from genetic changes that accumulate during population divergence.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.Notoptera, a singular ancient insect lineage, is vital for exploring insect environmental adaptation, evolution, and its geological history link, recognized as a national first‐class protected animal. Comparing environmental adaptation genes in Galloisiana sinensis and Grylloprimevala jilina, closely related yet habitat‐disparate species, illuminates ...

Evolution of Phospholipase A2 in Bees and Flies
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.This study investigated the evolution of the PLA2 gene in bees and flies and compared the evolutionary rate between them, which denotes the toxic group and the non‐toxic group. The results showed that PLA2 was under purifying selection and that an accelerated evolution of PLA2 occurred in the toxic group when compared with the non‐toxic group ...

BMC Genomics, 2003 Background Non-coding DNA represents a high proportion of all metazoan genomes. Although an undetermined fraction of this DNA may be considered devoid of any function, it also contains important information residing in specific cis-regulatory sequences ...

RepeatOBserver: Tandem Repeat Visualisation and Putative Centromere Detection
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.ABSTRACT Tandem repeats play an important role in centromere structure, subtelomeric regions, DNA methylation, recombination and the regulation of gene activity. Analysis of their distribution in genomes offers a potential means for predicting putative centromere locations, which continues to be a challenge for genome annotation.
