DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evad055
Abstract: The world’s astounding biodiversity results from speciation, the process of formation of distinct species. Hybrids between species often have reduced fitness due to negative epistatic interactions between divergent genetic factors, as each lineage accumulated substitutions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msaa071
Abstract: Abstract Divergence in gene expression regulation is common between closely related species and may give rise to incompatibilities in their hybrid progeny. In this study, we investigated the relationship between regulatory evolution within species and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0198710
Abstract: The synapse between auditory Johnston’s Organ neurons (JONs) and the giant fiber (GF) of Drosophila is structurally mixed, being composed of cholinergic chemical synapses and Neurobiotin- (NB) permeable gap junctions, which consist of the innexin… read more here.
