Genomic Signatures of Speciation in Sympatric and Allopatric Hawaiian Picture-Winged Drosophila
The Hawaiian archipelago provides a natural arena for understanding adaptive radiation and speciation. The Hawaiian Drosophila are one of the most diverse endemic groups in Hawaiì with up to 1,000 species. We sequenced and analyzed entire genomes of recently diverged species of Hawaiian picture-winged Drosophila, Drosophila silvestris and Drosophila heteroneura from Hawaiì Island, in comparison...
متن کاملPolygenic control of aldehyde oxidase in Drosophila.
HEN extracts of wild-type Drosophila are electrophoresed on agar gels and the gels stained with a tetrazolium solution containing benzaldehyde, a formazan band is formed at a location not identical to the xanthine dehydrogenase (XDH) band ( COURTRIGHT 1966a). This was a surprising observation since benzaldehyde has been reported to serve as a substrate for XDH (GLASSMAN and MITCHELL 1959a). Sin...
متن کاملHepatic Aldehyde Oxidase
Previous reports on rabbit liver aldehyde oxidase described the purification and some properties of the enzyme (1) and the differential inhibition of electron transfer to various acceptors (2). The latter study furnished evidence for the participation of several electron carriers in the internal electron transport sequence of the enzyme. The present communication summarizes the results of studi...
متن کاملRapid adaptive radiation and host plant conservation in the Hawaiian picture wing Drosophila (Diptera: Drosophilidae).
The Hawaiian picture wing Drosophila are a striking example of adaptive radiation in specialist saprophages on an island system. We use DNA sequences from five nuclear genes with a total of 4260 nucleotides to provide a comprehensive phylogeny and biogeographic analysis of 90 species in the Hawaiian Drosophila picture wing clade. The current analysis indicates that the evolution of the picture ...
متن کاملHawaiian Drosophila Project Herman
The Zoology Department of the University of Texas has been deeply involved in the study of Drosophila from the early 1920's to the present. During the 1920's Herman Muller, then a member of the faculty, utilized x-rays to create mutations in D. melanogaster, for which he was later awarded the Nobel prize; Theophilus Painter (1934) was the first fully to elucidate the bandings in the polytene ch...
