Genetics of a difference in pigmentation between Drosophila yakuba and Drosophila santomea.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2002

Llopart Ana, Elwyn Susannah, Lachaise Daniel, Coyne Jerry A

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila yakuba is a species widespread in Africa, whereas D. santomea, its newly discovered sister species, is endemic to the volcanic island of São Tomé in the Gulf of Guinea. Drosophila santomea probably formed after colonization of the island by its common ancestor with D. yakuba. The two species differ strikingly in pigmentation: D. santomea, unlike the other eight species in the D. melanogaster subgroup,...
