Rapid divergence of the male reproductive proteins in the <i>Drosophila dunni</i> group and implications for postmating incompatibilities between species

Abstract

AbstractProteins involved in post-copulatory interactions between males and females are among the fastest evolving genes in many species, usually attributed to their involvement in reproductive conflict. As a result, these proteins are thought to often be involved in the formation of postmating-prezygotic incompatibilities between species. The Drosophila dunnidunni
