Meiotic drive does not impede success in sperm competition in the stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanniS. Bates, L. Meade and A. Pomiankowski, bioRxiv, 2022.
Meiotic drive genes are selfish genetic elements that distort Mendelian patterns of inheritance to bias transmission in their favour. We use the stalk-eyed fly, Teleopsis dalmanni, to investigate the fitness effects associated with a meiotic drive gene called Sex Ratio (SR), ... |

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 ... |
