Abstract excerpt
Recent empirical and theoretical studies on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in higher animals have suggested that the extent of mtDNA polymorphism is largely affected by spatial population subdivision. To examine this we studied mtDNA polymorphism in two subspecies of Drosophila sulfurigaster: D. s. albostrigata and D. s. bilimbata. Drosophila sulfurigaster albostrigata is mainly distributed on the mainland...
