Repeated evolution of asymmetric genitalia and right-sided mating behavior in the Drosophila nannoptera species group

Background Male genitals have repeatedly evolved left-right asymmetries, and the causes of such evolution remain unclear. The Drosophila nannoptera group contains four species, among which three exhibit left-right asymmetries of distinct genital organs. In the most studied species, Drosophila pachea...
