A biased operational sex ratio (OSR) can have multiple, confounding effects on reproductive fitness. A biased OSR can increase harassment and mating activity directed towards potential mates but may also increase the ability of potential mates to cho

When a population faces long-term inbreeding, artificial selection, in principle, can enhance natural selection processes for purging the exposed genetic load. However, strong purge pressures might actually decrease fitness through the inadvertent fi

We used the housefly (Musca domestica L.) as an experimental model to compare two strategies for the captive breeding of an endangered species: a strategy to minimize inbreeding and balance founder contributions (termed “MAI” for “maximum avoid

Studies on conflict and cooperation in insect mating behavior usually assay the relative costs and benefits of mating in unreplicated experimental designs. We assayed multiple populations for such potential costs and benefits in Musca domestica L. un

Founder-flush speciation models propose that population bottlenecks can enhance evolutionary potential for reproductive isolation. To test this prediction, we subjected bottlenecked (three-pair founder-flush) and nonbottlenecked populations of the ho

The rapid expansion of genomic and molecular genetic techniques in model organisms, and the application of these techniques to organisms that are less well studied genetically, make it possible to understand the genetic control of many behavioral phe

Sexual selection for divergent female preferences has been proposed to stimulate speciation. We tested this basic model by selecting for divergence in the courtship repertoire of the house fly Musca domestica L. Specifically, we subjected replicate s

The genetic architectures of four morphometric traits in the housefly, Musca domestica L., were analysed using a paternal half-sib design on a large outbred base population and on two populations each established with two pairs of flies from the base

Using the housefly, Musca domestica (L), as a model system, we tested the ability of two extrems in the range of possible captive breeding protocols to yield sustainable populations following founding with low founder numbers. The protocols tested in
