The Drosophila obscura group consists of several dozen Nearctic and Palearctic species, with a phylogeny that remains largely unresolved in spite of numerous morphological, cytogenetic, and molecular investigations. We have partially sequenced two genes, Gpdh (about 1000 bp) and Sod (about 700 bp) i

The population biology and molecular evolution of the transposable element mariner has been studied in the eight species of the melanogaster subgroup of the Drosophila subgenus Sophophora. The element occurs in D. simulans, D. mauritiana, D. sechellia, D. teissieri, and D. yakuba, but is not found i
The Gpdh genomic region has been cloned and sequenced in Drosophila pseudoobscura. A total of 6.8 kb of sequence was obtained, encompassing all eight exons of the gene. The exons have been aligned with the sequence from D. melanogaster, and the rates of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitution have
Approximately 2 kb corresponding to different regions of the mtDNA of 14 different species of the obscura group of Drosophila have been sequenced. In spite of the uncertainties arising in the phylogenetic reconstruction due to a restrictive selection toward a high mtDNA A+T content, all the phylogen
In natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster, sigma virus is usually present in a minority of individuals. The virus is transmitted transovarially but is not contagious from fly to fly. Two viral Types (I and II) are found in populations. One of them (Type II) is better adapted to an allele for
