More accurate and precise phenotyping strategies are necessary to empower high-
resolution linkage mapping and genome-wide association studies and for training genomic …

Deleterious alleles have long been proposed to play an important role in patterning
phenotypic variation and are central to commonly held ideas explaining the hybrid vigor …

Reference collections of multiple Drosophila lines with accumulating collections of “omics”
data have proven especially valuable for the study of population genetics and complex trait …

Background Host sexual dimorphism is being increasingly recognized to generate strong
differences in the outcome of infectious disease, but the mechanisms underlying …

Gene duplications play a key role in the emergence of novel traits and in adaptation. But
despite their centrality to evolutionary processes, it is still largely unknown how new gene …

Eloquent information about the genetic basis of inheritance is important for any breeding
program. Therefore, a diallel study was conducted under the influence of tomato leaf curl …

How organisms adapt to new environments is of fundamental biological interest, but poorly
understood at the genetic level. Chemosensory systems provide attractive models to …

Laboratory studies are often criticized for not being representative of processes occurring in
natural populations. One reason for this is the fact that laboratory populations generally do …

Wolbachia pipientis is one of the most widely studied endosymbionts today, yet we know
little about its short‐term adaptation and evolution. Here, using a set of 91 inbred Drosophila …

In many animal species, females and males differ in physiology, lifespan, and immune
function. The magnitude and direction of the sexual dimorphism in immune function varies …
