The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E.Smith), is comprised of two strains (R&C) that are in the process of speciation and serve as a novel system to explore the genomic basis of population div
Speciation is often viewed as a continuum along which populations diverge until they become reproductively-isolated species. However, such divergence may be heterogeneous, proceeding in `fits and burs
The pace of divergence and likelihood of complete speciation may depend on how and when different types of reproductive barriers evolve. Questions remain about the evolution of reproductive barriers a
Transgenic Lhr orthologs were tested for interaction with two Hmr alleles: a null and a hypomorph, specified in the table as Df(1)Hmr− and Hmr1 respectively. D. melanogaster female parent genotypes we
