DOI: 10.1093/genetics/iyae084

Abstract: Abstract Chromosome inversions are of unique importance in the evolution of genomes and species because when heterozygous with a standard arrangement chromosome, they suppress meiotic crossovers within the inversion. In Drosophila species, heterozygous inversions also… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msz160

Abstract: The recent emergence and spread of X-linked segregation distorters - called "Paris" system - in the worldwide species Drosophila simulans has elicited the selection of drive-resistant Y chromosomes. Here, we investigate the evolutionary history of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jeb.13141

Abstract: The Y chromosome should degenerate because it cannot recombine. However, male‐limited transmission increases selection efficiency for male‐benefit alleles on the Y, and therefore, Y chromosomes should contribute significantly to variation in male fitness. This means… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/insects13050454

Abstract: Simple Summary Transposable elements are capable of promoting somatic mobilization, and this may potentially have biological consequences. However, the rate of somatic mobilization is poorly known. The mariner element causes somatic mobilization in Drosophila simulans.… read more here.
