Genetic changes accompanying the evolution of host specialization in Drosophila sechellia.

Genetics - 1 Feb 2009

Dworkin Ian, Jones Corbin D

Abstract excerpt

Changes in host specialization contribute to the diversification of phytophagous insects. When shifting to a new host, insects evolve new physiological, morphological, and behavioral adaptations. Our understanding of the genetic changes responsible for these adaptations is limited. For instance, we do not know how often host shifts involve gain-of-function vs. loss-of-function alleles. Recent work suggests that...
