Sex chromosomes are expected to segregate equally during meiosis, but in many species they show signs of genetic conflict. In Drosophila, certain genes are found in unusually high copy number on the X or Y chromosome, suggesting they may act as “meiotic drivers” that bias their own transmission at the...

How do new species form? One of the major challenges in evolutionary biology is identifying the genetic changes that cause populations to stop mating with one another. We study this question in Drosophila athabasca, a group of closely related fruit fly populations that are at a very early stage of...
