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

open access: yesEcology 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

Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2010
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.

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2005
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 ...

Chromosome-Level Assembly of Drosophila bifasciata Reveals Important Karyotypic Transition of the X Chromosome

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020
The Drosophila obscura species group is one of the most studied clades of Drosophila and harbors multiple distinct karyotypes. Here we present a de novo genome assembly and annotation of D. bifasciata, a species which represents an important subgroup for

The genetics of reproductive isolation and the potential for gene exchange between Drosophila Pseudoobscura and D. Persimilis via backcross hybrid males [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Hybrid male sterility, hybrid inviability, sexual isolation, and a hybrid male courtship dysfunction reproductively isolate Drosophila pseudoobscura and D. persimilis.

Dysfunction of Drosophila mitochondrial carrier homolog (Mtch) alters apoptosis and disturbs development

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

The heritability of mating behaviour in a fly and its plasticity in response to the threat of sperm competition.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Phenotypic plasticity is a key mechanism by which animals can cope with rapidly changeable environments, but the evolutionary lability of such plasticity remains unclear.
