Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 20, October 2025.ABSTRACT The molecular basis of sex determination (SD), while being extensively studied in model organisms, remains poorly understood in many animal groups. Bivalves, a diverse class of molluscs with a variety of reproductive modes, represent an ideal yet challenging clade for investigating SD and the evolution of sexual systems.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Evolution of the sugar receptors in insects
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Perception of sugars is an invaluable ability for insects which often derive quickly accessible energy from these molecules. A distinctive subfamily of eight proteins within the gustatory receptor (Gr) family has been identified as sugar ...
