Long-Term Maintenance of Complex Chromosomal Inversion Polymorphism in .

Natural selection is known to favor specific gene combinations, thereby shaping the evolution of recombination rates, often through epistatic interactions. However, the dynamics of these interacting factors within natural populations remain poorly understood. In this study, we investigate the long-term maintenance of a complex polymorphism involving linked, nonoverlapping chromosomal inversions in a natural population of .

New Genes in the Y Chromosome: Lessons from .

Y chromosomes play important roles in sex determination and male fertility. In several groups (e.g.

Differential attraction of drosophilids to banana baits inoculated with and within a Neotropical forest remnant.

Background: Yeasts are a necessary requisite in the diet of most species that, in turn, may vector their dispersal in natural environments. Differential attractiveness experiments and the isolation of yeasts consumed by may be informative for characterizing this association. is among the most common yeast species isolated from crops, with high attractiveness to drosophilids.
