A non-coding indel polymorphism in the fruitless gene of Drosophila melanogaster exhibits antagonistically pleiotropic fitness effects

M. D. Jardine, F. Ruzicka, C. Diffley, K. Fowler, M. Reuter

The paper identifies a non-coding indel polymorphism in the fruitless gene of Drosophila melanogaster and shows it has antagonistically pleiotropic fitness effects.

Mother's curse is pervasive across a large mito-nuclear Drosophila panel

L. Carnegie, M. Reuter, K. Fowler, N. Lane, M. F. Camus

The paper tests the mothers curse hypothesis using a large Drosophila mito-nuclear panel, finding that mitochondrial genetic variance affects males more than females in most nuclear backgrounds.

Does meiotic drive alter male mate preference?

S. R. Finnegan, L. Nitsche, M. Mondani, M. F. Camus, K. Fowler, A. Pomiankowski

The paper investigates whether meiotic drive affects male mate preference in stalk-eyed flies, finding no difference in preference strength between drive and standard males but linking eyespan to preference strength.

Maintenance of fertility in the face of meiotic drive

L. C. Meade, S. Finnegan, R. Kad, K. Fowler, A. Pomiankowski

The paper examines how meiotic drive in stalk-eyed flies affects male fertility and resource allocation, finding that drive males maintain high fertility despite sperm destruction.

Meiotic drive reduces egg-to-adult viability in stalk-eyed flies

S. R. Finnegan, N. J. White, D. Koh, M. F. Camus, K. Fowler, A. Pomiankowski

The paper investigates the impact of SR meiotic drive on egg-to-adult viability in stalk-eyed flies, finding reduced viability in both sexes and additive effects in females.

Limits to environmental masking of genetic quality in sexual signals

J. M. Howie, H. A. C. Dawson, A. Pomiankowski, K. Fowler

The paper tests how genetic and environmental factors interact to influence male sexual ornaments in stalk-eyed flies, showing genetic signals become more visible under stress but are overwhelmed in extreme conditions.

Genome-wide sexually antagonistic variants reveal longstanding constraints on sexual dimorphism in the fruitfly

F. Ruzicka, M. S. Hill, T. M. Pennell, I. Flis, F. C. Ingleby, K. Fowler, E. H. Morrow, M. Reuter

The paper identifies genome-wide sexually antagonistic variants in D. melanogaster and finds they are subject to balancing selection, suggesting constraints on sexual dimorphism evolution.

Sex- and genotype-effects on nutrient-dependent fitness landscapes in Drosophila melanogaster

M. F. Camus, K. Fowler, M. W. D. Piper, M. Reuter

This study assesses genetic variation in dietary requirements and metabolic fitness effects in Drosophila melanogaster males and females across different protein-to-carbohydrate diets, revealing sex-specific genetic constraints on metabolic dimorphism.
