Male-benefit adaptation under sex-limited selection shaped by compensatory evolution in Drosophila melanogaster.

Harshavardhan Thyagarajan, Mindy G. Baroody, Imran Sayyed, Joshua A. Kowal, Troy Day, Adam K. Chippindale

This study investigates male-benefit adaptation under sex-limited selection in Drosophila melanogaster, finding compensatory evolution that improves male fitness through genetic and environmental interactions.

Additivity of the genetic load is a product of both synergistic and antagonistic epistasis in Drosophila

Imran Sayyed, Halle McNamara, Troy Day, Adam K. Chippindale

The paper investigates epistatic interactions in Drosophila by analyzing inbreeding effects on pupal productivity and pupa-to-adult viability, finding synergistic and antagonistic epistasis in different traits.

Mixed evidence for intralocus sexual conflict from male-limited selection in Drosophila melanogaster.

Harshavardhan Thyagarajan, Imran Sayyed, Mindy G. Baroody, Joshua A. Kowal, Troy Day, Adam K. Chippindale

This study tests intralocus sexual conflict in Drosophila melanogaster using male-limited selection, finding mixed evidence with reduced male fitness variation and female fitness costs.
