Drosophila yakuba mayottensis, a new model for the study of incipient ecological speciation.

Fly - 2 Jan 2017

Yassin Amir

Abstract excerpt

A full understanding of how ecological factors drive the fixation of genetic changes during speciation is obscured by the lack of appropriate models with clear natural history and powerful genetic toolkits. In a recent study, we described an early stage of ecological speciation in a population of the generalist species Drosophila yakuba (melanogaster subgroup) on the island of Mayotte (Indian Ocean). On this...
