Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila simulans: so similar yet so different.

Genetica - 1 Mar 2004

Capy Pierre, Gibert Patricia

Abstract excerpt

During the last two decades, the two cosmopolitan species Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans have been compared with regard to numerous characteristics, ranging from their geographic distribution and ecology to their DNA polymorphism. Various traits have been compared, including morphology, physiology, sexual behavior, allozymes and other proteins, chromosomal inversions, mitochondrial and nuclear...
