Historical Biogeography of the Drosophila melanogaster Species Subgroup
Whereas there has been increasing interest in the eight members of the melanogaster species subgroup of Drosophila, no comprehensive survey exists of the biogeography and ecology of these species in…

Is RAD-seq suitable for phylogenetic inference? An in silico assessment and optimization
TLDR
This study validates the view that RAD sequencing is a powerful tool for phylogenetic inference and shows that clustering RAD-seq data using the BLASTN and SiLiX programs significantly improves the recovery of orthologous RAD loci compared with previously proposed approaches, especially for distantly related species.

A phylogeny of Drosophilidae using the Amyrel gene: questioning the Drosophila melanogaster species group boundaries
TLDR
The phylogenetic relationships of 164 species of the family Drosophilidae are discussed, using the Amyrel gene, a member of the a-amylase multigene family, to raise the species subgroups ananassae and montium to the rank of species group and restrict the melanogaster species group to the melanogsaster subgroup plus the Oriental subgroups.

Species-Wide Genetic Variation and Demographic History of Drosophila sechellia, a Species Lacking Population Structure
TLDR
While bottlenecks cannot account for the pattern of molecular evolution observed in this species, scenarios close to the null hypothesis of a constant population size are well supported and adaptive features specific to D. sechellia are discussed.

Isozyme variability and differentiation between Rhodnius prolixus, R.robustus and R.pictipes, vectors of Chagas disease in Venezuela
TLDR
Enzyme polymorphism in triatomine bugs of the genus Rhodnius, vectors of Chagas disease, is analysed using both starch and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, with low genetic variability, with significant differences between the strains at individual loci.

New African species in the Drosophila obscura species group: genetic variation, differentiation and evolution
TLDR
The data support Lakovaara and Saura's hypothesis recognising three species subgroups within the obscura group and propose a fourth one for the new African species, the microlabis species subgroup.

Genetic population structure of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica: Absence of geographical variation
TLDR
The genetic structure of 31 populations of the German cockroach, Blattella germanica (L), located in two French cities 900 km apart, was estimated by enzyme gel electrophoresis and evidenced strong genetic substructuring on a local scale, within cities.

TLDR
Inferences of the times of species divergence from allozyme data are made and their agreement to other estimates is discussed and the yakuba-teissieri pair appears to be closer to the melanogaster lineage than to the erecta-orena one.

Evidence of a high rate of selective sweeps in African Drosophila melanogaster.
TLDR
DNA sequence variation data in three new and six previously published data sets from the left arm of the second chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster in a population from West Africa suggests that a large part of the D. melanogasters genome has experienced the effect of positive selection in its ancestral African range.
