Query: Evolution of Drosophila buzzatii wings: Modular genetic organization, sex-biased integrative selection and intralocus sexual conflict The Drosophila wing is a structure shared by males and females with the main function of flight. However, in males, wings are also used to produce songs, or visual displays during courtship. Thus, observed changes in wing phenotype depend on the interaction between sex-specific selective pressures and the genetic and ontogenetic restrictions imposed by a common genetic architecture. Here, we investigate these issues by studying how the wing has evolved in twelve populations of Drosophila buzzatii raised in common-garden conditions and using an isofemale line design. The between-population divergence shows that sexual dimorphism is greater when sex evolves in different directions. Multivariate Qst-Fst analyses confirm that male wing shape is the target for multiple selective pressures, leading males wings to diverge more than females wings. While the wing blade and the wing base appear to be valid modules at the genetic (G matrix) and among-population (D matrix) levels, the reconstruction of between-population adaptive landscapes ({Omega} matrix) shows selection as an integrative force. Also, cross-sex covariances reduced the predicted response to selection in the direction of the extant sexual dimorphism, suggesting that selection had to be intensified in order to circumvent the limitations imposed by G. However, such intensity of selection was not able to break the modularity pattern of the wing. The results obtained here show that the evolution of D. buzzatii wing shape is the product of a complex interplay between ontogenetic constraints and conflicting sexual and natural selections.
