How affects the Evolution of by Rahia Mashoodh. Not sure if it’s parentale care per se or strong pressures related to the novel environmental conditions caused by preventing parental care that are responsible for the changes in genetic variation, but the approach and the questions were very neat!

Why are female bigger than male flies? Because they are more sensitive to in .

Some from the linked above💡💡💡

“Importantly, in my view, the term ‘genetically similar to’ also helps to avoid the assumption of homogeneity within labels; ‘similar to’ does not imply ‘same as’. Similarity-based sample descriptors also move us some way to acknowledging the continuous nature of across in our sample descriptions. I am more genetically similar to some samples than I am to others, but that does not imply that there are natural groupings. Nor do similarity-based labels imply how I, as an individual, might choose to identify or what distribution of environments I might experience. For example, a person may be genetically similar to 1000 samples labeled Southern Asian, yet in itself this similarity does not identify them as Southern Asian, whereas stating that a person has ‘Southern Asian ’ comes much closer to making that linkage in people’s minds.
Working out the of individuals and of groups of people from around the world is a fascinating area of research, but it should not be the day job of the majority of researchers in the field of , who instead need accurate sample descriptors of current day that aid clear communication.”

'Using Drosophila melanogaster wing shape, we ask if we can replicate allelic effects of polymorphisms first identified in a GWAS (Pitchers et al. 2019) in three genes: dachsous (ds ), extra-macrochaete (emc) and neuralized (neur), using artificial selection in the lab and bulk segregant mapping in natural populations.'
