Double trouble: two retrotransposons triggered a cascade of invasions in Drosophila species within the last 50 years
Horizontal transfer of genetic material in eukaryotes has rarely been documented over short
evolutionary timescales. Here, we show that two retrotransposons, Shellder and Spoink …

Hybrid incompatibility between Drosophila virilis and D. lummei is stronger in the presence of transposable elements
Mismatches between parental genomes in selfish elements are frequently hypothesized to
underlie hybrid dysfunction and drive speciation. However, because the genetic basis of …

Wolbachia in natural Drosophila simulans (Diptera: Drosophilidae) populations in Ukraine
Abstract In Drosophila, endosymbiotic bacteria Wolbachia were first described in the late
1980s as a bacterial agent causing cytoplasmic incompatibility in Drosophila simulans …

Enrichment of hard sweeps on the X chromosome compared to autosomes in six Drosophila species
The X chromosome, being hemizygous in males, is exposed one-third of the time increasing
the visibility of new mutations to natural selection, potentially leading to different evolutionary …

Gap genes are involved in inviability in hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and D. santomea
Evolved changes within species lead to the inevitable loss of viability in hybrids. Inviability is
also a convenient phenotype to genetically map and validate functionally divergent genes …
