Chromosomal inversions are ubiquitous in genomes and often coordinate complex phenotypes,
such as the covariation of behavior and morphology in many birds, fishes, insects or …

Various approaches can be applied to uncover the genetic basis of natural phenotypic
variation, each with their specific strengths and limitations. Here, we use a replicated genome-…

Recurrent specialization on similar host plants offers a unique opportunity to unravel the
evolutionary and genetic mechanisms underlying dietary shifts. Recent studies have focused on …

Background Pigmentation has a long history of investigation in evolutionary biology. In
Drosophila melanogaster, latitudinal and altitudinal clines have been found but their underlying …

Population genetics seeks to illuminate the forces shaping genetic variation, often based on
a single snapshot of genomic variation. However, utilizing multiple sampling times to study …

Sex-limited polymorphisms are an intriguing form of sexual dimorphism that offer unique
opportunities to reconstruct the evolutionary changes that decouple male and female traits …

Unraveling the genetic architecture of adaptive phenotypic divergence is a fundamental quest
in evolutionary biology. In Drosophila melanogaster, high-altitude melanism has evolved …

The genomic processes enabling speciation and species coexistence in sympatry are still
largely unknown. Here we describe the whole-genome sequencing and assembly of 3 closely …

Dimorphic traits are ubiquitous in nature, but the evolutionary factors leading to dimorphism
are largely unclear. We investigate a potential case of sexual mimicry in Drosophila erecta, …

Sex-ratio drive, which has been documented in several Drosophila species, is induced by X-linked
segregation distorters. Contrary to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the sex-…
