Population structure in African Drosophila melanogaster revealed by microsatellite analysis.

Molecular ecology - 1 Feb 2005

Dieringer Daniel, Nolte Viola, Schlötterer Christian

Abstract excerpt

Tropical sub-Saharan regions are considered to be the geographical origin of Drosophila melanogaster. Starting from there, the species colonized the rest of the world after the last glaciation about 10 000 years ago. Consistent with this demographic scenario, African populations have been shown to harbour higher levels of microsatellite and sequence variation than cosmopolitan populations. Nevertheless, limited...
