Abstract excerpt
Elaborate secondary sexual traits are among the most striking phenotypes in nature. Functional genetic studies of these phenotypes generally focus on within-species analyses of candidate pathways, providing insight into mechanisms of trait expression, not necessarily genetic differences contributing to evolutionary change. Drosophila prolongata offers an exceptional model to explore evolution of trait...
