Variability of esterase patterns in adult flies of the saltans species group of Drosophila (subgenus Sophophora).

Abstract excerpt

Esterases are known for their involvement in several physiological processes and high degree of polymorphism, in many organisms. Such polymorphism has been used to characterize species and species groups and to study genetic changes occurred in their evolutionary history. In the present study, the esterase patterns of 19 strains from 10 species representative of the five subgroups of the saltans species group...
