The Drosophila buzzatii cluster is composed of seven cactophilic species and their known
geographical distribution encompasses the open vegetation diagonal, which includes the …

Every population possesses genetic variations which are achieved through gene mutation,
genetic recombination, hybridization, gene duplication etc. These genetic variations provide …

A central issue in evolutionary biology is to understand the mechanisms promoting
morphological evolution during speciation. In a previous study, we showed that the …

Drosophila antonietae is an endemic South American cactophilic species that uses Cereus
hildmaniannus rotting cladodes as breeding sites. We assessed temporal and spatial …

Aedeagal morphology of two sibling cactophilic species, Drosophila buzzatii Patterson &

Drosophila antonietae is an endemic South American cactophilic species found in relictual
xerophytic vegetation, mostly associated with Cereus hildmaniannus cactus. Low …

Drosophila gouveai is a cactus‐breeding species with a naturally fragmented distribution in
central‐western and southeastern Brazil. In this study, a neutral genetic marker …

Drosophila melanogaster has been considered an important model species to explore the
patterns of diversity in natural populations. The current study was conducted to study …

In this study, we have compared 34 repetition units of pBuM-2 satellite DNA of individuals
from six isolated populations of Drosophila gouveai, a cactophilic member of Drosophila …

Drosophila antonietae belongs to the Drosophila buzzatii cluster, a cactophilic group of
species naturally endemic to South America. Morphological and genetic analyses indicate …
