MICROGEOGRAPHIC AND TEMPORAL GENETIC DIFFERENTIATION IN NATURAL POPULATIONS OF DROSOPHILA SUBOBSCURA

1 Department of Genetics, Faculty of Biology, University of La Laguna, Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain

Evidence of microgeographic and temporal genetic differentiation in natural populations of Drosophila subobscura is presented. The alcohol dehydrogenease locus was used as a genetic marker. Behavioral differences among the sexes and genotypes may explain these observations, although the molecular basis remains obscure.
