“…melanogaster is more successful in cold regions and in highly alcoholic substrates (David & Bocquet, 1975), as well as in laboratory conditions (Moore, 1952). On the other hand, D. simulans is superior in nature to D. melanogaster in temperate regions (Wallace, 1968).…”

Electrophoretic variability in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans

Genetic variation at 59 gene loci coding for enzymes (50) and larval proteins (9) has been studied in sympatric populations of Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans from insular and continental origin. The average number of alleles per locus, the mean proportion of polymorphic loci and the mean heterozygosity are similar both within and between species. There are however some significant differences between D. simulans populations in the genotypic frequencies for four polymorphic loci.

“…In every case these investigations involved species Eol 2o. lwhich are widely separated both from the taxonomic and ecological points of view. A recent study by Moore (1952) stands apart from previous studies of competition between drosophilids. He used two synanthropic species, D. melanogaster and D. simulans, and observed the outcome of competition between these two species in population cages at two temperatures.…”

“…Larval viability of drosophila can be enhanced or handicapped by the presence of larvae of other drosophila species in the same cultures (36,38). In laboratory populations, if two species share limited resources of food and space, one species will generally eliminate the other within a few generations (39). However, I have demonstrated that with the serial transfer technique two species of drosophila can coexist if the environment is properly adjusted (40).…”
