Chromosomal and behavioral studies of Mexican Drosophila. III. Inversion polymorphism of D. pseudoobscura.

ABSTRACT

Four new gene arrangements of chromosome 3 of Drosophila pseudoobscura are reported, as well as an updated phylogenetic sequence of the inversion polymorphism in this species. Evidence that the Tree Line gene arrangement of chromosome 3 was the original form in D. pseudoobscura, and that Central Mexico is the center of distribution of this species is discussed.
