Recent radiation of endemic Caribbean Drosophila of the dunni subgroup inferred from multilocus DNA sequence variation.

Abstract excerpt

Studies of island endemism provide a unique opportunity to elucidate fundamental mechanisms of speciation. Here we examine intra- and interspecific DNA sequence variation at four unlinked genetic loci among populations of the Drosophila dunni subgroup to provide a detailed genealogical portrait of the process of speciation among these island endemic species. Our data indicate two major rounds of diversification...
