Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of genes and genomes on the Drosophila phylogeny.

Andrew G. Clark, +429 more
- 08 Nov 2007 - 
TL;DR: These genome sequences augment the formidable genetic tools that have made Drosophila melanogaster a pre-eminent model for animal genetics, and will further catalyse fundamental research on mechanisms of development, cell biology, genetics, disease, neurobiology, behaviour, physiology and evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enzyme variability in the drosophila willistoni group. iv. genic variation in natural populations of drosophila willistoni

TL;DR: The observations support the conclusion that balancing natural selection is the major factor responsible for the considerable genetic variation observed in D. willistoni.
Book

Progress and Prospects in Evolutionary Biology: The Drosophila Model

TL;DR: 1. Introduction and Overview 2. Population Genetics - Genes 3. population Genetics - Inversions 4. Evolution 5. Laboratory Studies 6. Speciation
Journal ArticleDOI

History of domestication and spread of Aedes aegypti--a review.

TL;DR: This work integrates the available information including genetics, behaviour, morphology, ecology and biogeography of the mosquito, with human history to reach a realistic and comprehensive understanding of this important vector of yellow fever, dengue and Chikungunya.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intraspecific nuclear DNA variation in Drosophila.

TL;DR: It is concluded that many variables are affecting levels of DNA polymorphism in Drosophila, from properties of nucleotides to population history and, perhaps, mating structure.
