Sex comb of Drosophila melanogaster.
A pseudo-colored scanning electron micrograph of the sex comb of D. melanogaster, ventral view. The sex comb is an example of a recently evolved and rapidly diversifying sex-specific structure. Tanaka et al. (e1001131) describe the genetic mechanism underlying its origin.
