Project description:Here we show that Drosophila sechelliaM-bM-^@M-^Ta specialist on the fruit of Morinda citrifolia that recently diverged from its generalist sister-species, D. simulansM-bM-^@M-^Thas rapidly accumulated loss-of-function alleles and reduced gene expression at genes affecting olfaction, detoxification, and metabolism. While D. sechellia increases expression of genes involved with oogenesis and fatty acid metabolism when on its host, many more genes show reduced expression in D. sechellia. For several functionally related genes, this decrease in expression is associated with loss-of-function alleles. The rapid accumulation of these alleles potentially affected D. sechelliaM-bM-^@M-^Ys initial adaptation to M. citrifolia, likely contributes to D. sechelliaM-bM-^@M-^Ys poor competitive ability off of its host, and increases ecological isolation between D. sechellia and its sister species.

Project description:Here we show that Drosophila sechelliaâa specialist on the fruit of Morinda citrifolia that recently diverged from its generalist sister-species, D. simulansâhas rapidly accumulated loss-of-function alleles and reduced gene expression at genes affecting olfaction, detoxification, and metabolism. While D. sechellia increases expression of genes involved with oogenesis and fatty acid metabolism when on its host, many more genes show reduced expression in D. sechellia. For several functionally related genes, this decrease in expression is associated with loss-of-function alleles. The rapid accumulation of these alleles potentially affected D. sechelliaâs initial adaptation to M. citrifolia, likely contributes to D. sechelliaâs poor competitive ability off of its host, and increases ecological isolation between D. sechellia and its sister species. Our results suggest that a subset of genes reduce or lose function as a consequence of host specialization, which may explain why, in general, specialist insects tend to shift to chemically similar hosts. Moreover, if the accumulation of non- or weakly functional genes in a specialist enhances the ecological isolation between it and other species, then this process may explain why specialists are speciose.

Project description:In order to test the hypothesis that adult hybrid misexpression results from the cascading effect of earlier-expressed developmentally important improperly regulated genes, as well as address whether Von Baer’s 3rd law (suggesting that earlier stages of development should be more similar between species than later stages) holds at the level of gene expression, we conducted whole-transcriptome Drosophila melanogaster cDNA microarray-based expression profiling of males of D. melanogaster, D. sechellia, and D. simulans, at four synchronized developmental time-points (3rd instar larval [larval], early pupal, late pupal, and newly-emerged adult [adult]). D. simulans and D. sechellia shared a most recent common ancestor (MRCA) ~0.5 to 1.0 million years ago (MYA) and form a clade that shared an MRCA with D. melanogaster approximately 5.4 MYA. In addition, we also performed the same analysis on the male interspecific F1 hybrids of the D. simulans (♀) × D. sechellia (♂) cross.

Project description:We identified 6,975 insertion/deletion events of between 10 and 100 bp in length from the Drosophila simulans and Drosophila sechellia Mercator/MAVID genomic sequence alignment. Replicate pure samples of Drosophila simulans and Drosophila sechellia gDNA were competitively hybridized to measure the expected relative hybridization intensity of alleles from each species. We used these measured intensities to assess the likelihood that the hybridization signal at each probe in an experimental animal reflected homozygosity or heterozygosity at that locus.
