An evolutionary cost of separate genders revealed by male-limited evolutionN G Prasad
Department of Biology, Queen s University at Kingston, Biosciences Complex, 116 Barrie Street, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada
Am Nat 169:29-37. 2007..These results suggest that intralocus conflict strongly limits sex-specific adaptation, promoting the maintenance of genetic variation for fitness. Populations may carry a heavy genetic load as a result of selection for separate genders...
Sexual conflict in plantsN G Prasad
Department of Biology, Queen's University at Kingston, Biosciences Complex, 116 Barrie Street, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada
J Genet 85:161-4. 2006
Genetic correlations: transient truths of adaptive evolutionN G Prasad
Department of Biology, Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada
J Genet 83:3-6. 2004
Male-limited evolution suggests no extant intralocus sexual conflict over the sexually dimorphic cuticular hydrocarbons of Drosophila melanogasterStephanie Bedhomme
Department of Biology, Queen s University, 116 Barrie Street, Kingston, ON K7L3N6, Canada
J Genet 90:443-52. 2011..Nevertheless, direct estimates of sexually antagonistic selection will be important to fully resolve these alternatives...
Sperm competition and mate harm unresponsive to male-limited selection in Drosophila: an evolving genetic architecture under domesticationPan Pan Jiang
Department of Biology, Queen s University, Kingston, ON, K7L 3N6 Canada
Evolution 65:2448-60. 2011....
Sexual conflict and environmental change: trade-offs within and between the sexes during the evolution of desiccation resistanceLucia Kwan
Department of Biology, Queen s University, Kingston, Ontario K7L 3N6, Canada
J Genet 87:383-94. 2008..We discuss the forces that mould fitness in males under a regimen where trade-offs between survival and reproduction may be considerable...
Correlated responses to selection for faster development and early reproduction in Drosophila: the evolution of larval traitsN G Prasad
Evolutionary and Organismal Biology Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Jakkur, Bangalore, India
Evolution 55:1363-72. 2001....
What have two decades of laboratory life-history evolution studies on Drosophila melanogaster taught us?N G Prasad
Evolutionary Biology Laboratory, Evolutionary and Organismal Biology Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, P O Box 6436, Jakkur, Bangalore 560 064, India
J Genet 82:45-76. 2003....
Faster development does not lead to correlated evolution of greater pre-adult competitive ability in Drosophila melanogasterMallikarjun Shakarad
Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution Laboratory, Biology Department, Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research, P O Box 18, Devanahalli 562 110, Bangalore, India
Biol Lett 1:91-4. 2005..We briefly discuss these results in the context of different formulations of density-dependent selection theory...
The evolution of population stability as a by-product of life-history evolutionN G Prasad
Evolutionary Biology Laboratory, Evolutionary and Organismal Biology Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, PO Box 6436, Jakkur, Bangalore 560 064, India
Proc Biol Sci 270:S84-6. 2003..This greater stability of the FEJ populations is probably a by-product of the evolution of reduced fecundity and pre-adult survivorship, as a correlated response to selection for rapid development...
Evolution of faster development does not lead to greater fluctuating asymmetry of sternopleural bristle number in DrosophilaM Shakarad
Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research, 4 Sadashivanagar, Bangalore 560 080, India
J Genet 80:1-7. 2001..Although we cannot discriminate among these explanations, our results suggest that the relationship between development time, FA and fitness may be far more subtle than often thought...
Reduced larval feeding rate is a strong evolutionary correlate of rapid development in Drosophila melanogasterM Rajamani
Behaviour, Ecology and Evolution Laboratory, Biology Department, Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research, P.O. Box No. 18, Devanahalli, Bangalore 562 110, India
J Genet 85:209-12. 2006
Laboratory evolution of population stability in Drosophila: constancy and persistence do not necessarily coevolveSutirth Dey
Evolutionary Biology Laboratory, Evolutionary and Organismal Biology Unit, Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Jakkur PO, Bangalore 560064, India
J Anim Ecol 77:670-7. 2008..5. We also show how seemingly trivial experimental details, such as the protocol for restarting extinct populations, can interact with life-history traits to alter the manifestation of the stability properties of a population...
