The 7 introgressions were monitored by the cytogenetic method of polygenic chromosome 8 asynapses. Later the introgressions were evaluated in their capacity to produce sterility 9 in segmental males. Also, the smallest segment with the capacity to produce sterility in 10 segmental males was mapped by in situ hybridization of polythene chromosomes, using 11 8 sequences of BACs clones as probes. Finally, a bioinformatic analysis was carried out 12 to identify the presence of particular genes. From 2 parental strains, D. buzzatii and D. 13 koepferae, 6 simple segmental hybrid lines were generated, whose introgressing 14 segments are distributed along chromosome 4 of these species.

    Heredity 80 (1998) 642–650 Received 3 September 1997 Inheritance of behavioural differences between two interfertile, sympatric species, Drosophila silvestris and D. heteroneura CHRISTINE R. B. BOAKE*, DONALD K. PRICE% & DEBRA K. ANDREADIS Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, U.S.A. The Hawaiian fly species, Drosophila silvestris and D. heteroneura, are sympatric and interfertile but show strong behavioural isolation and major differences in male aggressive behaviour and the associated morphology. As a first step in elucidating the genetic control of the differences between these species, we examined the mating and aggressive behaviour of their reciprocal F1 hybrids. The latency to the first wing vibration and the latency to copulate did not differ significantly between the parental species. However, D. heteroneura females had a very low tendency to copulate with D. silvestris males, rarely mating during the observation period. The duration of copulation also differed significantly: same-species pairs of D. silvestris had copula- tions that lasted about 50% longer than those of same-species pairs of D. heteroneura. The hybrids were intermediate between the parental species for both the tendency to copulate with D. silvestris males and the duration of copulation, suggesting codominance or polygenic inherit- ance for those traits. The aggression traits that we scored were the leg posture and wing extension during early aggression, and the leg posture and head position during escalated aggression. The parental species showed clear differences for each of these traits. The F1 hybrids resembled one parent or the other, without showing intermediate values, suggesting single-gene dominance or threshold expression of many genes for those traits.

The former breeds primarily on prickly pears (genus Opuntia) whereas the latter breeds on columnar cacti of the genera Cereus and Trichocereus, although with certain degree of niche overlapping. We examined the interspecific differences in diurnal temporal patterns of adult emergence from puparia and evaluated whether this behavior is affected by rearing in the different cactus hosts available in nature. We detected important host-dependent genetic variation for this trait differentially affecting the emergence schedule of these species. Diurnal pattern of emergence time was directly correlated with developmental time and negatively correlated with adult wing size, suggesting that early emergences are at least indirectly correlated with increased fitness.

  • Kosuda, K. Viability of Drosophila Melanogaster Female Flies Carrying
    Dros. Inf. Serv. 97 (2014) Research Notes 131 Drosophila it was also shown that mating latency is also affected by body size, age, and diet (Hegde and Krishna, 1997; Somashekar and Krishna 2011; Singh and Sisodia, 2012). In P. straiata courtship activities of male and female culminate in copulation (Latha and Krishna, 2014). Longer copulation is an adaptation of males which could reduce the risk of sperm competition with future ejaculations with the help of mating plug which prevents the female from remating before oviposition (Gilchrist and Partridge, 2000). In the present study it was found that flies grown on organic banana fruit had copulated significantly longer compared to flies grown on non-organic banana and wheat cream agar media (Figure 3 and Table 1). Our results in P. straiata confirm work of organic banana fruit on reproduction (Chabra et al., 2013). Longer the duration of copulation, greater is the transfer of accessory gland proteins and sperm to the mated female (Hegde and Krishna, 1997; Somashekar and Krishna, 2011). Fecundity is the most obvious trait that influences the reproductive ability of female usually considered as female fitness component. It is known that fecundity is influenced by age, body size, and diet of an organism (Krishna and Hegde 1997). In P. straiata flies grown on organic banana fruit based media had greater number of ovarioles compared to flies grown in other two media (Figure 4 and Table 1). In the present study, flies used were of same age and were grown in same conditions but foods were different. Therefore, in the present study quality of food had influenced fecundity in P.

Six immigrant species are added to the list of Drosophilidae of Hawaii. They are: Amiota sp, Drosophila bizonata Kikkawa and Peng, D. nasutoides Okada, Hirtodrosophila sp. nr. unicolorata Wheeler, Scaptodrosophila sp., and Scaptomyza pallida (Zetterstedt). Seven new island records of previously established species are also documented. An annotated list of the 32 immigrant species of Drosophilidae established in Hawaii is provided, with the earliest confirmed year of detection for each species. Key words: Drosophilidae, Hawaii, Distribution The family Drosophilidae consists of 3950 valid species (Brake and Bächli 2008). With 559 endemic species (O’Grady et al. 2009), and an estimated 900-1000 in total, the Hawai- ian Islands have the highest regional drosophilid species diversity globally. Five species of immigrant Drosophilidae were listed as occurring in Hawaii by early authors (Sturtevant 1921, Bryan 1934), but most of these records were later shown to be misidentifications. Zimmerman (1943) was the first to document thoroughly the immigrant Hawaiian drosophilid fauna, based on available material in collections and field surveying. He pointed out that the species of Drosophila recorded in early literature as D.

  • Development and Evolutionary Constraints in Animals Abstract
    Development and evolutionary constraints in animals Frietson Galis Naturalis Biodiversity Center [email protected] Johan A. J. Metz University of Leiden [email protected] Jacques J. M. van Alphen University of Amsterdam [email protected] Running title: Development and evolutionary constraints Corresponding author: Frietson Galis Naturalis Biodiversity Center Darwinweg 2, 2333CR Leiden, The Netherlands +31648814360 [email protected] Abstract We review the evolutionary importance of developmental mechanisms in constraining evolutionary changes in animals, i.e. developmental constraints. We focus on hard constraints that can act on macro-evolutionary time-scales. We in particular discuss the causes and evolutionary consequences of the ancient metazoan constraint that differentiated cells cannot divide, and constraints against changes of phylotypic stages in vertebrates and other higher taxa. We conclude that in all cases these constraints are caused by complex and highly controlled global interactivity of development, that when disturbed has grave consequences. Mutations that affect such global interactivity almost unavoidably have many deleterious pleiotropic effects, which will be strongly selected against, and lead to long-term evolutionary stasis. The discussed developmental constraints have pervasive consequences for evolution and critically restrict regeneration capacity and body plan evolution. Keywords: Evo-Devo, body plan evolution, evolutionary constraint, parthenogenesis, phylotypic stages, regeneration capacity 1. Introduction Evolution has produced an astonishing array of organisms, yet the branches of the evolutionary tree do not reach all profitable regions of phenotype space (Maynard Smith et al 1985, Vermeij 2015). Evolution, thus, appears to be subject to constraints. We focus on developmental constraints, that is on the role of developmental mechanisms in restricting the range of possibly adaptive phenotypes (Oster & Alberch 1982, Müller & Wagner 1991, Amundson 1994, Schoch 2013).
