Altitudinal and seasonal variation in microsatellite allele frequencies of Drosophila buzzatii.

Abstract excerpt

Variation in climate, particularly temperature, is known to affect the genetic composition of populations. Although there have been many studies of latitudinal variation, comparisons of populations across altitudes or seasons, particularly for animal species, are less common. Here, we study genetic variation (microsatellite markers) in populations of Drosophila buzzatii collected along altitudinal gradients and...
