The evolution of sexual dimorphism in gene expression in response to a manipulation of mate competition

This study examines how mate competition affects sexual dimorphism in gene expression by evolving Drosophila melanogaster populations under different mating conditions.

Cis-regulatory variation in relation to sex and sexual dimorphism in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper investigates cis-regulatory variation in Drosophila melanogaster, finding widespread sex-specific effects and reversed allelic imbalance between sexes.

An investigation of the sex-specific genetic architecture of fitness in Drosophila melanogaster

The paper investigates sex-specific genetic effects on fitness in Drosophila melanogaster using three approaches across two mating environments, finding concordant genetic variation effects and stronger selection against certain mutations in females.

Two forms of sexual dimorphism in gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster: their coincidence and evolutionary genetics

An experimental test of the mutation-selection balance model for the maintenance of genetic variance in fitness components

The paper tests the mutation-selection balance model for genetic variance in three Drosophila traits, finding some evidence of non-mutational variance in sexual fitness components.

Mutation accumulation in selfing populations under fluctuating selection

This study shows fluctuating selection accelerates deleterious mutation accumulation in selfing populations, increasing extinction risk.

Sexual conflict and STIs: coevolution of sexually antagonistic host traits with a sexually transmitted infection

The paper examines how sexually transmitted infections (STIs) influence the coevolution of male persistence, female resistance, and STI virulence, showing different evolutionary outcomes based on STI type.
