26 Partial conclusion DesatF is the only desaturase involved in the synthesis of dienes (second double-bond) Dmel/Dsim females are much more attractive ti to Dsim males if they have no functional desatf allele (no dienic hydrocarbons) Dienes and desatf could play a role in reproductive isolation between Dsim and Dmel How has the gene evolved?

30 Conclusions desatf has evolved very rapidly between D. simulans and D. melanogaster It has a large effect on D. simulans courtship It may have played a role in sexual isolation leading to speciation

31 Evolution of desatf desatf has evolved very rapidly between Drosophila species. Its evolution in Drosophila is under study (Maria Keays, Mike Ritchie Lab)
