Genetic variation and differentiation at microsatellite loci in Drosophila simulans. Evidence for founder effects in new world populations.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1998

Irvin S D, Wetterstrand K A, Hutter C M, Aquadro C F

Abstract excerpt

Drosophila simulans isofemale lines from Africa, South America, and two locations in North America were surveyed for variation at 16 microsatellite loci on the X, second, and third chromosomes, and 18 microsatellites, which are unmapped. D. simulans is thought to have colonized New World habitats only relatively recently (within the last few hundred years). Consistent with a founder effect occurring as colonizers...
