Chance caught on the wing: cis-regulatory evolution and the origin of pigment patterns in Drosophila

Archive ouverte | Gompel, Nicolas | CCSD

The gain, loss or modification of morphological traits is generally associated with changes in gene regulation during development. However, the molecular bases underlying these evolutionary changes have remained elusive. Here we i...

Smells like evolution: the role of chemoreceptor evolution in behavioral change.

International audience. In contrast to physiology and morphology, our understanding of how behaviors evolve is limited. This is a challenging task, as it involves the identification of both the underlying genetic ba...

Looking under the lamp post: neither fruitless nor doublesex has evolved to generate divergent male courtship in Drosophila

Archive ouverte | Cande, Jessica | CCSD

International audience. How do evolved genetic changes alter the nervous system to produce different patterns of behavior? We address this question using Drosophila male courtship behavior, which is innate, stereoty...
