Is Multifactorial Sex Determination in the House Fly, Musca domestica (L.), Stable Over Time?

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2016

Meisel Richard P, Davey Taira, Son Jae Hak, Gerry Alec C, Shono Toshio, Scott Jeffrey G

Abstract excerpt

Sex determination pathways evolve rapidly, usually because of turnover of master regulatory genes at the top of the developmental pathway. Polygenic sex determination is expected to be a transient state between ancestral and derived conditions. However, polygenic sex determination has been observed in numerous animal species, including the house fly, Musca domestica House fly males carry a male-determining factor...
