Discovery of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> from Wild African Environments and Genomic Insights into Species History

2018-11-15

Abstract excerpt

A long-standing enigma concerns the geographic and ecological origins of the intensively studied vinegar fly, Drosophila melanogaster , a globally widespread species [1] which “has invariably appeared to be a strict human commensal” [2]. In spite of its sub-Saharan origins, this species has never been reported from undisturbed wilderness environments that might reflect its pre-commensal niche [3]. Here, we docume...
