Further studies on gene polymorphism in the mainbody and geographically isolated populations of Drosophila pseudoobscura

Abstract

The authors have examined polymorphism at 22 additional loci in the populations from the mainbody of Drosophila pseudoobscura and an isolated population from Bogota, Colombia, which also shows partial reproductive isolation from mainbody populations. These studies extend previous observations of reduced gene polymorphism and apparent lack of unique allele in the Bogota population.
