Epistasis between genes is traditionally studied with mutations that eliminate protein activity,
but most natural genetic variation is in cis-regulatory DNA and influences gene expression …

Animals adapt to their environments in the course of evolution. One effective approach to
elucidate mechanisms of adaptive evolution is to compare closely related species with …

Quantitative variation in attributes such as color, texture, or stiffness dominates
morphological diversification. It results from combinations of alleles at many Mendelian loci …

Sorbitol is a critical photosynthate and storage substance in the Rosaceae family. Sorbitol 6-
phosphate dehydrogenase (S6PDH) functions as the pivotal rate-limiting enzyme in sorbitol …

Adaptive introgression is ubiquitous in animals, but experimental support for its role in
driving speciation remains scarce. In the absence of conscious selection, admixed …

摘要(中) 體色是動物中一種最多樣且常為自然選汰或性選汰作用的性狀, 而某些果蠅物種的雄性
具有性別專一的黑色翅斑, 被認為賦予雄性交配優勢, 並與向雌蟲展示翅膀的行為在演化上相關 …

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 …
