The rediscovery of Mendel's work showing that the heredity of phenotypes is controlled by
discrete genes was followed by the reconciliation of Mendelian genetics with evolution by …

The binding of transcription regulators to cis-regulatory sequences is a key step through
which all cells regulate expression of their genes. Due to gains and losses of cis-regulatory …

Speciation is one of the most important processes in biology, yet the study of the genomic
changes underlying this process is in its infancy. North American warbler species …

In Heliconius butterflies, wing colour pattern diversity and scale types are controlled by a few
genes of large effect that regulate colour pattern switches between morphs and species …

Cochliomyia hominivorax and Lucilia cuprina are major pests of livestock. Their larvae infest
warm-blooded vertebrates and feed on host's tissues, resulting in severe industry losses. As …

Natural phenotypic radiations, with their high diversity and convergence, are well-suited for
informing how genomic changes translate to natural phenotypic variation. New genomic …

Sex-limited polymorphisms are an intriguing form of sexual dimorphism that offer unique
opportunities to reconstruct the evolutionary changes that decouple male and female traits …

Sexually dimorphic traits in insects are subject to sexual selection, but our knowledge of the
underlying molecular mechanisms is still scarce. Here we investigate how the highly …

Naturalists have been fascinated for centuries by animal colors and color patterns. While
widely studied at the adult stage, we know little about color patterns in the embryo. Here, we …
