The coupling hypothesis: why genome scans may fail to map local adaptation genes
Genomic scans of multiple populations often reveal marker loci with greatly increased
differentiation between populations. Often this differentiation coincides in space with …

Synthesis and scope of the role of postmating prezygotic isolation in speciation
MD Garlovsky, E Whittington… - Cold Spring …, 2024 - cshperspectives.cshlp.org

[HTML][HTML] From genotypes to organisms: State-of-the-art and perspectives of a cornerstone in evolutionary dynamics
Understanding how genotypes map onto phenotypes, fitness, and eventually organisms is
arguably the next major missing piece in a fully predictive theory of evolution. We refer to this …

The Rate of Evolution of Postmating-Prezygotic Reproductive Isolation in Drosophila
DA Turissini, JA McGirr, SS Patel… - Molecular Biology …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
Reproductive isolation is an intrinsic aspect of species formation. For that reason, the
identification of the precise isolating traits, and the rates at which they evolve, is crucial to …

Macroevolutionary speciation rates are decoupled from the evolution of intrinsic reproductive isolation in Drosophila and birds
DL Rabosky, DR Matute - Proceedings of the National …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
The rate at which speciation occurs varies greatly among different kinds of organisms and is
frequently assumed to result from species-or clade-specific factors that influence the rate at …

Wolbachia Acquisition by Drosophila yakuba-Clade Hosts and Transfer of Incompatibility Loci Between Distantly Related Wolbachia
Maternally transmitted Wolbachia infect about half of insect species, yet the predominant
mode (s) of Wolbachia acquisition remains uncertain. Species-specific associations could …

Wolbachia in the Drosophila yakuba Complex: Pervasive Frequency Variation and Weak Cytoplasmic Incompatibility, but No Apparent Effect on Reproductive …
Three hybridizing species—the clade [(Drosophila yakuba, D. santomea), D. teissieri]—

Rapid and Predictable Evolution of Admixed Populations Between Two Drosophila Species Pairs
In this article, Matute et al. report an experiment in which they generated eight interspecific
admixed populations using two species pairs of Drosophila. They found that in both species …
