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

Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]
Flying insects use olfaction to navigate towards fruits in complex odor environments with remarkable accuracy. Some fruits change odor profiles substantially during ripening and related species can prefer different stages.

Inversion clines in natural populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura from Mexico [PDF]
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.

Conserved genomic organisation of Group B Sox genes in insects.
Background Sox domain containing genes are important metazoan transcriptional regulators implicated in a wide rage of developmental processes. The vertebrate B subgroup contains the Sox1, Sox2 and Sox3 genes that have early functions in neural ...

The genetics of reproductive isolation and the potential for gene exchange between Drosophila Pseudoobscura and D. Persimilis via backcross hybrid males [PDF]
Hybrid male sterility, hybrid inviability, sexual isolation, and a hybrid male courtship dysfunction reproductively isolate Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis.

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 ...
