African Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans populations have similar levels of sequence variability, suggesting comparable effective population sizes.

Genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Nolte Viola, Schlötterer Christian

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans are two closely related species with a similar distribution range. Many studies suggested that D. melanogaster has a smaller effective population size than D. simulans. As most evidence was derived from non-African populations, we readdressed this question by sequencing 10 X-linked loci in five African D. simulans and six African D. melanogaster populations. Contrary to...
