Abstract excerpt
F1 hybrid females between the sibling species Drosophila simulans, Drosophila mauritiana and Drosophila sechellia are completely fertile. However, we have found that female sterility can be observed in F2 backcross females who are homozygous for D. simulans X chromosomes and homozygous for autosomal regions from either D. mauritiana or D. sechellia. Our results indicate that neither D. mauritiana autosome (2 or...
