Abstract:As is typical of small insects, populations of Drosophila melanogaster adapted to high altitude environments evolved increased body size, disproportionality large wings, and differing wing shape compared to low-altitude ancestors. In one instance the colonization of high-altitude environments in Ethiopia is recent (2000 – 3000 years ago), and is a useful system to study alleles contributing to adaptive divergence. Unlike predictions derived from formulations Fisher-Kimura-Orr geometric model based on de novo m… Show more
