Altering the temporal regulation of one transcription factor drives sensory trade-offs

2018-06-15

Abstract excerpt

<h4>SUMMARY</h4> Size trade-offs of visual versus olfactory organs is a pervasive feature of animal evolution. Comparing Drosophila species, we find that larger eyes correlate with smaller antennae, where olfactory organs reside, and narrower faces. We demonstrate that this tradeoff arises through differential subdivision of the head primordium into visual versus non-visual fields. Specification of the visual fi...
