Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) in the two sibling species, Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans, differ considerably in amount and dynamics, with D. simulans having a smaller amount of TEs than D. melanogaster. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain these differences, based on the evolutionary history of the two species, and claim differences either in the effective size of the population or in genome...
