Condition manipulation reveals an increase in sex-specific additive genetic variance, and reduced intersex genetic covariances in Drosophila prolongata, a species with sexual trait exaggeration

Tyler Audet, Sanhavy Vadivel, Aaron Taylor…·Ian M. Dworkin

The study examines how food restriction affects genetic correlations between sexes in Drosophila prolongata, finding reduced intersex genetic covariances and increased sex-specific additive genetic variance.

Genetic architecture of the developing forelegs of Drosophila prolongata; an exaggerated weapon and ornament

Tyler Audet, Jhoniel Perdigón Ferreira, Abhishek Meena…·Ian M. Dworkin

The paper investigates the genetic basis of exaggerated foreleg development in Drosophila prolongata by comparing sex-biased gene expression across species and developmental stages, finding modest changes in gene expression and a role for the grain gene.

The role of resource defensibility in facilitating sexually-selected weapon evolution: An experimental evolution test

Tyler Audet, Audrey Wilson, Reuven Dukas, Ian M. Dworkin

This study tests the hypothesis that resource defensibility facilitates weapon evolution by conducting experimental evolution in Drosophila melanogaster and observing changes in morphology and aggression.

Sexually discordant selection is associated with trait specific morphological changes and a complex genomic response

Tyler Audet, Joelle Krol, Katie Pelletier…·Ian M. Dworkin

This study examines genomic and morphological changes in Drosophila melanogaster under sexually discordant selection, finding trait-specific size dimorphism shifts and genomic differentiation linked to sexual conflict.
