Differences between males and females in the optimal phenotype that is favoured by
selection can be resolved by the evolution of differential gene expression in the two sexes …

Sexual reproduction is a fundamental biological process common among eukaryotes.
Because of the significance of reproductive proteins to fitness, the diversity and rapid …

The population genetic perspective is that the processes shaping genomic variation can be
revealed only through simultaneous investigation of sequence polymorphism and …

This report of independent genome sequences of two natural populations of Drosophila
melanogaster (37 from North America and 6 from Africa) provides unique insight into forces …

Pollen tubes extend through pistil tissues and are guided to ovules where they release
sperm for fertilization. Although pollen tubes can germinate and elongate in a synthetic …

A large portion of the annotated genes in Drosophila melanogaster show sex-biased
expression, indicating that sex and reproduction-related genes (SRR genes) represent an …

Across diverse taxa, seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) transferred at mating affect the
reproductive success of both sexes. Such reproductive proteins often evolve under positive …

Sexual reproduction requires coordinated contributions from both sexes to proceed
efficiently. However, the reproductive strategies that the sexes adopt often have the potential …

Genomics and bioinformatics have great potential to help address numerous topics in
ecology and evolution. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) can bridge genomics and …

Mammal species have made the transition to the marine environment several times, and
their lineages represent one of the classical examples of convergent evolution in …
