The landscape of nucleotide diversity in Drosophila melanogaster is shaped by mutation rate variation by Barroso, Gustavo V, Dutheil, Julien Y

“…Our analyses reclaim the well-established signature of linked selection in Drosophila melanogaster, but we estimate that the mutation landscape is the major driver of the genome-wide distribution of diversity in this species. Furthermore, our simulation results suggest that in many evolutionary scenarios the mutation landscape will be a crucial factor shaping diversity, depending notably on the genomic window size. …”

The First Workers of the Ant Camponotus obscuripes Are a Different Allometric Morph with Relatively Long Antennae to Communicate with Other Larger Colony Members by Saori Watanabe, Mamoru Terayama, Ryota Kawauchiya, Natsuki Ogusu, Yusuke Fujita, Syunta Mikami, Yuuka Murakami, Eisuke Hasegawa

“…We report here that, in the ant Camponotus obscuripes Mayr, the allometric rules of the nanitics are different from those of other workers in mature colonies, suggesting that the nanitics constitute an independent caste as with soldiers or queens in other species. In addition, the antennae of the nanitics show the minimum absolute length-difference with the mother queen compared to the other traits measured. …”
