Morphological innovation without gene co-option: the Drosophila sex comb evolved via changes in developmental tempo and energy metabolism

Ben R. Hopkins, Olga Y. Barmina, Xinying Wang, Mandy M. Situ, Haley A. Bolanos, Shizhan Nie, Artyom Kopp

This study shows that the Drosophila sex comb evolved through changes in developmental tempo and energy metabolism, not by co-opting new genes into downstream networks.
