Phylogenetics of Bagworm Moths: A Model System for Studying the Evolutionary Genetics of S — NSF Award to University of Florida (F
Almost all organisms have separate male and female sexes, but this common dynamic holds a contradiction: males and females are physiologically different from each other, sometimes extremely so, but share almost the same set of genes. How do differences between the sexes arise from a shared set of genetic starting point

| Abstract | Almost all organisms have separate male and female sexes, but this common dynamic holds a contradiction: males and females are physiologically different from each other, sometimes extremely so, but share almost the same set of genes. How do differences between the sexes arise from a shared set of genetic starting points and why do various species show wildly different degrees of sex differences? This research seeks to answer these fundamental questions using a remarkable group of insects, the ba |
