The Drosophila of Southern California. I. Colonization After a Fire

Gene Flow in Natural Populations

“…Moore et al (84) collected specimens in an area recently burned and fo und individuals of four species of Drosophila several hundred meters into the burned area only two weeks after the fire.

Naturalization of Sequoiadendron giganteum (Cupressaceae) in Montane Southern California

“…-Moore et al (1979), , 2004, Walter et al (2005), and Everett (2008) are four ecological studies of the Black Mountain area:…”

“…9). Walter et al (2005) studied fire and non-fire succession of chaparral and forest vegetation in and near Hall Canyon, whereas Moore et al (1979) studied post-fire colonization by Drosophila in the nearby Indian Mountain area to the southwest across Highway 243. Both investigations were at elevations (respectively, up to 1770 m and at about 1525 m) much lower than those of our study area beginning at 2036 m el.…”

“…Of the four ecological studies just cited, KeelerWolf (1986KeelerWolf ( , 1990KeelerWolf ( , 2004KeelerWolf ( , but not 1989 is the only one to mention Sequoiadendron (see Appendix). Moore et al (1979) and , 2004 provide details for the ca. 1880 and 1974 files (see Study Site).…”

Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Mediterranean-Climate California

“…Thus, the effect of chaparral wildfires on such genetic changes is of some interest. Moore et al (1979) demonstrated that the gene arrangements of the third chromosome of D. pseudoobscura were unchanged in populations of mature chaparral and recently burned chaparral. What is remarkable is that the frequency of various inversions observed by Dobzhansky in the 1950s have remained relatively stable, despite repeated wildfires and colonization by closely related species.…”
