Influence of two Wolbachia strains on population structure of East African Drosophila simulans.

Genetics - 1 Dec 2003

Dean Matthew D, Ballard Kirrie J, Glass Anne, Ballard J William O

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila simulans is hypothesized to have originated in continental East Africa or Madagascar. In this study, we investigated evolutionary forces operating on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in populations of D. simulans from Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, and Kenya. Variation in mtDNA may be affected by positive selection, background selection, demographic history, and/or any maternally inherited factor such as the...
