Hybridization and gene expression: Beyond differentially expressed genes

A Runemark, EC Moore, EL Larson - Molecular Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Gene expression has a key role in reproductive isolation, and studies of hybrid gene
expression have identified mechanisms causing hybrid sterility. Here, we review the …

Seminal fluid gene expression and reproductive fitness in Drosophila melanogaster

B Patlar, A Civetta - BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 - Springer
Background The rapid evolution of seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) has been suggested to be
driven by adaptations to postcopulatory sexual selection (eg sperm competition). However …

Viviparity and habitat restrictions may influence the evolution of male reproductive genes in tsetse fly (Glossina) species

G Savini, F Scolari, L Ometto, O Rota-Stabelli… - BMC biology, 2021 - Springer
Background Glossina species (tsetse flies), the sole vectors of African trypanosomes,
maintained along their long evolutionary history a unique reproductive strategy …

Divergence of X-linked trans regulatory proteins and the misexpression of gene targets in sterile Drosophila pseudoobscura hybrids

AC Go, A Civetta - BMC genomics, 2022 - Springer
Background The genetic basis of hybrid incompatibilities is characterized by pervasive
cases of gene interactions. Sex chromosomes play a major role in speciation and X-linked …

The Genomics of Species Divergence in Drosophila

JC Ponce - 2023 - search.proquest.com
How do new species arise and diverge? Has been a fundamental question in evolutionary
biology. The process of species divergence can be studied at many different levels of …
