Similar rates of protein adaptation in Drosophila miranda and D. melanogaster, two species with different current effective population sizes.

BMC evolutionary biology - 18 Dec 2008

Bachtrog Doris

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Adaptive protein evolution is common in several Drosophila species investigated. Some studies point to very weak selection operating on amino-acid mutations, with average selection intensities on the order of Nes approximately in D. melanogaster and D. simulans. Species with lower effective population sizes should undergo less adaptation since they generate fewer mutations and selection is ineffective...
