Natural variation in pigmentation caused by <i>cis</i>-regulatory changes affecting expression of the <i>ebony</i> gene in <i>Drosophila elegans</i> species subgroup Open
Repetitive evolution has offered valuable insights into how similar traits can arise across different populations and species. The dimorphic body color morphs (brown and black) of geographically isolated Drosophila elegans , along with its…

An enzymatic-independent function of palmitoyl hydrolase in cohesin loading onto chromosome Open
Sister chromatid cohesion is mediated by a conserved multiprotein complex called cohesin. The loading of cohesin onto chromosomes involves the RSC (remodels the structure of chromatin) chromatin remodeling complex. Here, we demonstrate tha…

Long-read-based Genome Assembly of<i>Drosophila gunungcola</i>Reveals Fewer Chemosensory Genes in Flower-breeding Species Open
Drosophila gunungcola exhibits reproductive activities on the fresh flowers of several plant species and is an emerging model to study the co-option of morphological and behavioral traits in male courtship display. Here, we report a near-c…

Protein S-palmitoylation regulates different stages of meiosis in<i>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</i> Open
Posttranslational protein S-palmitoylation regulates the localization and function of its target proteins involved in diverse cellular processes including meiosis. In this study, we demonstrate that S-palmitoylation mediated by Erf2-Erf4 a…

Geographical restriction and body size variation in two sibling species of flower-breeding Drosophila Open
Background:Variations in body size and body melanization are thought to be important features for local adaptation of environmental stresses in many insects and latitudinal clines of such variation have been found many taxa. When two speci…

Co‐evolving wing spots and mating displays are genetically separable traits in <i>Drosophila</i> Open
The evolution of sexual traits often involves correlated changes in morphology and behavior. For example, in Drosophila, divergent mating displays are often accompanied by divergent pigment patterns. To better understand how such traits co…

Understanding the Early Evolutionary Stages of a Tandem Drosophilamelanogaster-Specific Gene Family: A Structural and Functional Population Study Open
Gene families underlie genetic innovation and phenotypic diversification. However, our understanding of the early genomic and functional evolution of tandemly arranged gene families remains incomplete as paralog sequence similarity hinders…

Evolution of the Mutational Process under Relaxed Selection in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> Open
The mutational process varies at many levels, from within genomes to among taxa. Many mechanisms have been linked to variation in mutation, but understanding of the evolution of the mutational process is rudimentary. Physiological conditio…

View article: The mutational decay of male and hermaphrodite competitive fitness in the androdioecious nematode<i>C. elegans</i>, in which males are naturally rare
The mutational decay of male and hermaphrodite competitive fitness in the androdioecious nematode<i>C. elegans</i>, in which males are naturally rare Open
Androdioecious Caenorhabditis have a high frequency of self-compatible hermaphrodites and a low frequency of males. The effects of mutations on male fitness are of interest for two reasons. First, when males are rare, selection on male-spe…

Rapid Functional and Sequence Differentiation of a Tandemly Repeated Species-Specific Multigene Family in<i>Drosophila</i> Open
Gene clusters of recently duplicated genes are hotbeds for evolutionary change. However, our understanding of how mutational mechanisms and evolutionary forces shape the structural and functional evolution of these clusters is hindered by …
