Male eyespan size is associated with meiotic drive in wild stalk-eyed flies (Teleopsis dalmanni).

Heredity - 1 Apr 2014

Cotton A J, Földvári M, Cotton S, Pomiankowski A

Abstract excerpt

This study provides the first direct evidence from wild populations of stalk-eyed flies to support the hypothesis that male eyespan is a signal of meiotic drive. Several stalk-eyed fly species are known to exhibit X-linked meiotic drive. A recent quantitative trait locus analysis in Teleopsis dalmanni found a potential link between variation in male eyespan, a sexually selected ornamental trait, and the presence...
