expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility in drosophila simulans and its impact on infection frequencies and distribution of wolbachia pipientis.	the aim of this study is to examine the expression of cytoplasmic incompatibility and investigate the distribution and population frequencies of wolbachia pipientis strains in drosophila simulans. nucleotide sequence data from 16s rdna and a wolbachia surface protein coding sequence and cytoplasmic incompatibility assays identify four distinct wolbachia strains: wha, wri, wma, and wau. the levels of cytoplasmic incompatibility between six lines carrying these strains of bacteria and three contro ...	2000	11108593
signature of selective sweep associated with the evolution of sex-ratio drive in drosophila simulans.	in several drosophila species, the xy mendelian ratio is disturbed by x-linked segregation distorters (sex-ratio drive). we used a collection of recombinants between a nondistorting chromosome and a distorting x chromosome originating from the seychelles to map a candidate sex-ratio region in drosophila simulans using molecular biallelic markers. our data were compatible with the presence of a sex-ratio locus in the 7f cytological region. using sequence polymorphism at the nrg locus, we showed t ...	2004	15082554
