Genetic distance in the sibling species Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila simulans and Drosophila mauritiana

The genetic distance (Nei, 1971, 1972) among three sibling species of the melanogaster subgroup, D. melanogaster, D. simulans and D. mauritiana, has been obtained by means of the electrophoretic analysis of allozymes and larval proteins in 55 loci common to these three species. Drosophila simulans a...

Description
Summary:The genetic distance (Nei, 1971, 1972) among three sibling species of the melanogaster subgroup, D. melanogaster, D. simulans and D. mauritiana, has been obtained by means of the electrophoretic analysis of allozymes and larval proteins in 55 loci common to these three species. Drosophila simulans and D. mauritiana are more similar to each other than to D. melanogaster.
