The genus Drosophila is characterized by a large number of sibling species showing evolutionary significance.

Journal of genetics - 1 Dec 2016

Singh Bashisth N

Abstract excerpt

Mayr (1942) defined sibling species as sympatric forms which are morphologically very similar or indistinguishable, but which possess specific biological characteristics and are reproductively isolated. Another term, cryptic species has also been used for such species. However, this concept changed later. Sibling species are as similar as twins. This category does not necessarily include phylogenetic siblings as...
