For more than twenty years we have been working with Drosophila mediopunctata aiming to make this species a model organism for Evolutionary Biology, given its characteristics which are not seen in other Drosophila models. Recently, we received support from CNPq giving us fellowships to start cooperation with Prof. Gert O. Pflugfelder from Mainz University from Germany, with the objective …
Selfish cytoplasmic elements, which are maternally inherited, are able to increase their own population frequency by manipulating their hosts reproduction, leading to the appearance of female-biased off spring. The study of the interaction between selfish organisms and their hosts has wide theoretical importance, especially in evolutionary biology, genetics and ecology, as well as a possi…
Drosophila pigmentation is an important model for evolutionary and developmental studies that has revealed important features of genetic and developmental processes governing phenotypic evolution, such as the predominance of changes in cis regulatory elements over protein sequences. D. mediopunctata belongs to the tripunctata group of Drosophila and is, perhaps, the species that shows the…
