Developmental evolution in fast-forward: insect male genital diversification.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Apr 2025

Nunes Maria D S, McGregor Alistair P

Abstract excerpt

Insect male genitalia are among the fastest evolving structures of animals. Studying these changes among closely related species represents a powerful approach to dissect developmental processes and genetic mechanisms underlying phenotypic diversification and the underlying evolutionary drivers. Here, we review recent breakthroughs in understanding the developmental and genetic bases of the evolution of genital...
