Recent studies of cosmopolitan Drosophila populations have found hundreds to thousands
of genetic loci with seasonally fluctuating allele frequencies, bringing temporally fluctuating …

Allele frequencies can shift rapidly within natural populations. Under certain conditions,
repeated rapid allele frequency shifts can lead to the long‐term maintenance of …

Insects are capable of extraordinary feats of long‐distance movement that have profound
impacts on the function of terrestrial ecosystems. The ability to undertake these movements …

Fluctuations in the strength and direction of natural selection through time are a ubiquitous
feature of life on Earth. One evolutionary outcome of such fluctuations is adaptive tracking …

The characteristic properties of the X chromosome, such as male hemizygosity and its
unique inheritance pattern, expose it to natural selection in a way that can be different from …

Single nucleotide polymorphisms are the most common type of genetic variation, but how
these variants contribute to the adaptation of complex phenotypes is largely unknown …

Anisogamy, different-sized male and female gametes, sits at the heart of sexual selection
and conflict between the sexes. Sperm producers (males) and egg producers (females) of …

The pervasiveness of gene expression variation and its contribution to phenotypic variation
and evolution is well known. This gene expression variation is context dependent, with …

We investigate the contribution of a candidate gene, fiz (fezzik), to complex polygenic
adaptation to juvenile malnutrition in Drosophila melanogaster. Experimental populations …

The X chromosome, being hemizygous in males, is exposed one-third of the time increasing
the visibility of new mutations to natural selection, potentially leading to different evolutionary …
