Geuverink E, Kraaijeveld K, van Leussen M, Chen F, Pijpe J, Linskens M, et al.
Insect Mol Biol
. 2018 Jul;
27(6):780-795.
PMID: 30039559
Transformer (tra) is the central gear in many insect sex determination pathways and transduces a wide range of primary signals. Mediated by transformer-2 (tra2) it directs sexual development into the...

J Evol Biol
. 2017 Dec;
14(1):110-119.
PMID: 29280582
The Red Queen hypothesis predicts that sexuality is favoured when virulent parasites adapt quickly to host genotypes. We studied a population of the flatworm Schmidtea polychroa in which obligate sexual...

Geuverink E, Verhulst E, van Leussen M, van de Zande L, Beukeboom L
Insect Mol Biol
. 2017 Oct;
27(1):99-109.
PMID: 29030993
In many insect species maternal provision of sex-specifically spliced messenger RNA (mRNA) of sex determination genes is an essential component of the sex determination mechanism. In haplodiploid Hymenoptera, maternal provision...

Ma W, Pannebakker B, Beukeboom L, Schwander T, van de Zande L
Heredity (Edinb)
. 2014 May;
113(5):424-31.
PMID: 24781809
Trait decay may occur when selective pressures shift, owing to changes in environment or life style, rendering formerly adaptive traits non-functional or even maladaptive. It remains largely unknown if such...

Geuverink E, Beukeboom L
Sex Dev
. 2014 Jan;
8(1-3):38-49.
PMID: 24401160
Sex determination in insects is characterized by a gene cascade that is conserved at the bottom but contains diverse primary signals at the top. The bottom master switch gene doublesex...

Sex Dev
. 2013 Dec;
8(1-3):59-73.
PMID: 24355929
Arthropods exhibit a large variety of sex determination systems both at the chromosomal and molecular level. Male heterogamety, female heterogamety, and haplodiploidy occur frequently, but partially different genes are involved....

Buellesbach J, Gadau J, Beukeboom L, Echinger F, Raychoudhury R, Werren J, et al.
J Evol Biol
. 2013 Oct;
26(11):2467-78.
PMID: 24118588
The evolution and maintenance of intraspecific communication channels constitute a key feature of chemical signalling and sexual communication. However, how divergent chemical communication channels evolve while maintaining their integrity for...

Wertheim B, Beukeboom L, van de Zande L
Cytogenet Genome Res
. 2013 Jul;
140(2-4):256-69.
PMID: 23817224
Polyploidy is rarer in animals than in plants. Why? Since Muller's observation in 1925, many hypotheses have been proposed and tested, but none were able to completely explain this intriguing...

Paolucci S, van de Zande L, Beukeboom L
J Evol Biol
. 2013 Mar;
26(4):705-18.
PMID: 23496837
Living in seasonally changing environments requires adaptation to seasonal cycles. Many insects use the change in day length as a reliable cue for upcoming winter and respond to shortened photoperiod...

. 2011 Nov;

PMID: 22122805
Although the role of DNA methylation in insect development is still poorly understood, the number and role of DNA methyltransferases in insects vary strongly between species. DNA methylation appears to...
