Meiotic drive does not cause condition-dependent reduction of the sexual ornament in stalk-eyed fliesS. R. Finnegan, M. Mondani, K. Fowler and A. Pomiankowski, Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 11. 2021.![]() Meiotic drive systems are associated with low-frequency chromosomal inversions. These are expected to accumulate deleterious mutations due to reduced recombination and low effective population size. We test this prediction using the 'sex-ratio' (SR) meiotic drive system of the ...

Does meiotic drive alter male mate preference?S. R. Finnegan, L. Nitsche, M. Mondani, M. F. Camus, K. Fowler and A. Pomiankowski, Behavioral Ecology, 13:194-201. 2019.![]() ![]() ![]() Male mate preferences have been demonstrated across a range of species, including the Malaysian stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni. This species is subject to sex-ratio (SR), an X-linked male meiotic driver, which causes the dysfunction of Y-sperm and the production of all-female ...
