Abstract excerpt
The effects on nucleotide variation of adaptations to temperate habitats and of the possible bottleneck associated with the origin of European populations of Drosophila melanogaster should be detectable in DNA sequences given the short time elapsed relative to the species population size. We surveyed nucleotide variation in 109 fragments distributed across the X chromosome in a European population of D....
