Sox21b underlies the rapid diversification of a novel male genital structure between Drosophila species

A. M. Ridgway, E. Hood, J. F. Jimenez, M. D. S. Nunes, A. P. McGregor

This study identifies Sox21b as a gene underlying the diversification of posterior lobes in Drosophila species and its functional impact on copulation behavior.

Evolution of compound eye morphology underlies differences in vision between closely related Drosophila species

A. D. Buffry, J. P. Currea, F. A. Franke, R. Palavalli-Nettimi, A. P. Bodey, C. Rau, N. Samadi, S. J. Gstöhl, C. M. Schlepütz, A. P. McGregor, L. Sumner-Rooney, J. Theobald, M. Kittelmann

This study compares vision differences between Drosophila species by analyzing eye morphology and optical parameters, finding D. mauritiana has higher contrast sensitivity while D. simulans has higher spatial acuity.

Evolution of the spider homeobox gene repertoire by tandem and whole genome duplication

M. E. Aase-Remedios, R. Janssen, D. J. Leite, L. Sumner-Rooney, A. P. McGregor

The paper investigates the origin of duplicated homeobox genes in spiders, finding most are from a whole genome duplication, with evidence of subfunctionalisation in the NK cluster.

Heterochrony in orthodenticle expression is associated with ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species

M. Torres-Oliva, E. Buchberger, A. D. Buffry, M. Kittelmann, G. Guerrero, L. Sumner-Rooney, P. M. C. Gaspar, G. C. Bullinger, J. Figueras Jimenez, F. Casares, S. Arif, D. S. Nunes, N. Posnien, A. P. McGregor, I. Almudi

This study identifies differential timing of orthodenticle (otd) expression as a mechanism underlying ommatidial size variation between Drosophila species.

Unravelling the genetic basis for the rapid diversification of male genital structures between Drosophila species

J. F. D. Hagen, C. C. Mendes, S. R. Booth, J. Figueras Jimenez, K. M. Tanaka, F. A. Franke, , L. Baudouin-Gonzalez, A. M. Ridgway, S. Arif, M. D. S. Nunes, A. P. McGregor

The paper identifies genes involved in the development and evolution of male genital structures in Drosophila species using introgression lines and RNA-seq.

Characterization of the genetic architecture underlying eye size variation within Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans

P. Gaspar, S. Arif, L. Sumner-Rooney, M. Kittelmann, A. J. Bodey, D. L. Stern, M. D. S. Nunes, A. P. McGregor

This study identifies genetic factors underlying eye size variation in Drosophila species, showing that eye size and inter-ocular distance are genetically decoupled and influenced by different genomic regions.

tartan underlies the evolution of male Drosophila genital morphology

J. F. D. Hagen, C. C. Mendes, A. Blogg, A. Payne, K. M. Tanaka, P. Gaspar, J. Figueras Jimenez, M. Kittelmann, A. P. McGregor, M. D. S. Nunes

This paper identifies the gene tartan as responsible for evolutionary differences in male Drosophila genital morphology between D. mauritiana and D. simulans.

Gene regulatory network architecture in different developmental contexts influences the genetic basis of morphological evolution

S. Kittelmann, A. D. Buffry, F. A. Franke, I. Almudi, M. Yoth, G. Sabaris, J. P. Couso, M. D. S. Nunes, N. Frankel, J. L. Gomez-Skarmeta, J. Pueyo-Marques, S. Arif, A. P. McGregor

The paper investigates why different genes underlie the evolution of similar traits in Drosophila by comparing gene regulatory networks in larval and leg trichome development.
