Rowan R G, Hunt J A

Abstract excerpt

The sequence of 1.6 kb of DNA surrounding the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) gene from five species of the Planitibia subgroup of the Hawaiian picture-winged Drosophila, with estimated divergence times of 0.4-5.1 Myr, has been determined. The gene trees which were found by using the sequence diverge...
