Wing shape heritability and morphological divergence of the sibling species Drosophila mercatorum and Drosophila paranaensis
Article Abstract:
The degree of morphological divergence was studied between Drosophila paranaesis and Drosophila mercatorum pararepleta based on morphometric analysis of their wings. The pattern of morphological variation in the wings of both species was found similar except the placement of the posterior transverse wing vein.

Genetics of egg production in Drosophila sechellia
Article Abstract:
Drosophila sechellia, an island endemic that acts as an parasite on a single host plant, has a lower rate of egg production than its sister species. The reasons for the differences in the rate of egg production among Drosophila sechellia and the sister species are explained.

QTL analysis of variation in male courtship song characters in Drosophila virilis
Article Abstract:
The genetic basis of differences between two Drosophila virilis, representing phenotypes in two songs characters and the length of pulse train, are examined. The quantitative measurements of male courtship song in Drosophila species are discussed.
