Sex Ratio Meiotic Drive as a Plausible Evolutionary Mechanism for Hybrid Male Sterility

English version České info

Millions of species live on Earth, thanks to an evolutionary process that splits one species to two or more new species. The formation of new species is benchmarked by the evolution of reproductive isolation (RI) such as hybrid sterility between new species. The fundamental question of how RI evolves, however, remains largely unknown. In a pair of very young fruitfly species, we localized six loci expressing dual functions of hybrid male sterility (HMS) and sex ratio distortion, implicating an evolutionary causal link between these two traits. The rapid evolution of HMS widely observed across animal taxa can be attributed to the rapid evolution of genes controlling sex chromosome segregation. All genes in a genome are not equal. This study suggests that conflicts among various parts of a genome might confer strong evolutionary pressure—a mechanism that has hitherto been regarded as rare and could actually be more ubiquitous than currently appreciated.
