The genetic basis of adaptive pigmentation variation in Drosophila melanogaster.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2007

Pool John E, Aquadro Charles F

Abstract excerpt

In a broad survey of Drosophila melanogaster population samples, levels of abdominal pigmentation were found to be highly variable and geographically differentiated. A strong positive correlation was found between dark pigmentation and high altitude, suggesting adaptation to specific environments. DNA sequence polymorphism at the candidate gene ebony revealed a clear association with the pigmentation of...
