This research investigates the genetic mechanisms that lead to stable phenotypes in natural populations, focusing on the evolution of a genital sensory organ in the fruit fly species Drosophila santomea. The goal is to understand how these traits develop and are maintained.
How robust phenotypes evolve despite developmental noise remains unclear.
Individuals from natural populations usually display more stable phenotypes than laboratory mutants and hybrids.
This suggests that there are genetic mechanisms that stabilize phenotypes and that these differ between isolated populations.
We want to address here an unexplored yet fundamental question in biology: how does a stable phenotype appear during evolution?
We will focus on the evolution of a new genital sensory org…
