Maternally inherited microorganisms can influence the mtDNA pattern of variation in hosts.
This influence is driven by selection among symbionts and can cause the frequency of …

Drosophila mojavensis and Drosophila arizonae, a pair of sibling species endemic to North
America, constitute an important model system to study ecological genetics and the …

Despite the popularity of Drosophila melanogaster in functional and evolutionary genetics,
the global pattern of natural variation has not yet been comprehensively described in this …

Genomic tools and analyses are now being widely used to understand genome-wide
patterns and processes associated with speciation and adaptation. In this article, we apply a …

Drosophila simulans originated in sub‐Saharan Africa or Madagascar and colonized the
rest of the world after the last glaciation about 10 000 years ago. Consistent with this …

Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans are two closely related species with a similar
