Relative paucity of genes causing inviability in hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans.
Using deficiencies from Drosophila melanogaster, we looked for genomic regions in the sister species D. simulans that could cause lethality when hemizygous on a hybrid genetic background. Such genotypes allow hemizygous genes from one species to interact with heterozygous genes from other species and may correspond to the kinds of genotypes causing Haldane's rule, the observation that if only o...
متن کاملEmbryonic lethality leads to hybrid male inviability in hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and D. santomea
The study of the morphological defects unique to interspecific hybrids can reveal which developmental pathways have diverged between species. Drosophila melanogaster and D. santomea diverged more than 10 million years ago, and when crossed produce sterile adult females. Adult hybrid males are absent from all interspecific crosses. We aimed to determine the fate of these hybrid males. To do so, ...
متن کاملVariable modes of inheritance of morphometrical traits in hybrids between Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans.
We investigated body-size inheritance in interspecific sterile hybrids by crossing a Drosophila simulans strain with 13 strains of Drosophila melanogaster, which were of various origins and chosen for their broad range of genetic variation. A highly significant parent-offspring correlation was observed, showing that the D. melanogaster genes for size are still expressed in a hybrid background. ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Stability of Interspecies Hybrids among Drosophila Melanogaster, D. Simulans and D. Mauritiana (diptera: Drosophilidae)
Interspecies hybridization is expected to cause developmental instability (DI) as a consequence of outbreeding depression and genomic stress. The variability of fluctuating asymmetry (FA) of bilaterally symmetrical organs can accompany such stress conditions and change from parental individuals to hybrids. The aims of the present study were to estimate, under laboratory conditions, the degree o...
متن کاملThermal plasticity of wing size and shape in Drosophila melanogaster, D. simulans and their hybrids
Populations of Drosophila melanogaster, as well as of other Drosophila species, show body size differences according to their geographic origin. Thermal selection is considered to be the most likely cause explaining these differences. We investigated wing size, wing shape and their relationship in 3 different geographic populations of D. melanogaster, 1 population of D. simulans, and their inte...
