PHYLOGENETIC RELATIONSHIP OF AN INVASIVE DROSOPHILID, Zaprionus indianus AND CLOSELY RELATED SPECIES OF DROSOPHILIDAE (DIPTERA) BASED ON ESTERASE PATTERNS
Abstract
Two natural populations of Zaprionus indianus; collected from two different cities in Kafr El-Sheikh governorate, Egypt, were analyzed for esterase variability in comparison with natural population of both of D. melanogaster and D. simulans. Drosophila melanogaster (Oregon-K) was also used as a standard laboratory strain. The electrophoresis results gave an evidence of esterase polymorphisms in the studied populations with 88.89% polymorphism. Phylogenetic analysis based on Jaccard’s similarity coefficient of esterase patterns showed that D. melanogaster and D. simulans populations formed one cluster unit of the melanogaster species group whereas other cluster unit consisted of the two Z. indianus populations.References
