A single mutation alters production and discrimination of Drosophila sex pheromones.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 7 Feb 2005

Marcillac Fabrice, Grosjean Yaël, Ferveur Jean-François

Abstract excerpt

The evolution of communication is a fundamental biological problem. The genetic control of the signal and its reception must be tightly coadapted, especially in inter-individual sexual communication. However, there is very little experimental evidence for tight genetic linkage connecting the emission of a signal and its reception. We found that a single genomic transposon inserted in the desatl gene of Drosophila...
