TL;DR: The results suggest that the distinctive insect mechanism based on the tra-dsx splicing cascade evolved in a gradual, mosaic process: sex-specific splicing of dsx predates its role in female sexual differentiation, while the role of tra in regulating dsX splicing and in sexual development more generally predates sex- specific expression of the Tra protein.
