Rapid evolution of sex role specialization in a hermaphrodite under sex-limited selection

A. K. Norden, S. A. Ramm, J. K. Abbott

This study experimentally evolved a hermaphroditic flatworm under sex-limited selection, showing rapid sex role specialization without divergence in reproductive organ size.

Feminisation of complex traits in Drosophila melanogaster via female-limited X chromosome evolution

K. K. Lund-Hansen, J. K. Abbott, E. H. Morrow

This study uses female-limited X chromosome evolution to investigate sexually antagonistic genetic variation in Drosophila melanogaster, finding changes in body size and development time but not reproductive fitness or locomotion.

The evolution of suppressed recombination between sex chromosomes by chromosomal inversions

C. Olito, J. K. Abbott

This study uses population genetic models to investigate how chromosomal inversions influence the evolution of recombination suppression on sex chromosomes, finding that inversion size and ancestral SDR location affect fixation probabilities.

Sexually antagonistic coevolution between the sex chromosomes of Drosophila melanogaster

K. K. Lund-Hansen, C. Olito, E. H. Morrow, J. K. Abbott

This study shows that swapping sex chromosomes between Drosophila populations increases male fitness but reduces offspring survival, with antagonistic effects resolving after 25 generations.

The microevolutionary response to male-limited X-chromosome evolution in Drosophila melanogaster reflects macroevolutionary patterns

J. K. Abbott, A. K. Chippindale, E. H. Morrow

The paper shows that experimental evolution of the X chromosome in Drosophila melanogaster leads to microevolutionary changes mirroring macroevolutionary patterns of sexual dimorphism and sexually antagonistic variation.

Genetic correlations across genetically determined and developmentally plastic alternative reproductive tactics

J. K. Abbott, O. Rios-Cardenas, M. R. Morris

The paper uses simulation models to investigate genetic correlations in alternative reproductive tactics, finding that plastic tactics' correlations depend on switching thresholds.
