AB  - Drosophila subobscura is considered a good model species for investigation of a population’s ability to adapt and cope with climate changes. Decade long research has shown that inversion frequencies change in response to environmental factors indicating their role in adaptation to novel environments. The mechanisms behind organisms’ responses to temperature are complex, involving changes in physiology, behavior, gene expression and regulation. On the other hand, a population’s ability to respond to suboptimal conditions depends on standing genetic variation and population history. In order to elucidate the role of local adaptation in population response to the changing temperature, we investigated the response to temperature in D. subobscura individuals originating from two different altitudes by combining traditional cytogenetic techniques with assessing the levels of Hsp70 protein expression. Inversion polymorphism was assessed in the flies sampled from natural populations and in flies reared in laboratory conditions at three different temperatures after five and sixteen generations and Hsp70 protein expression profile in 12th generation flies at the basal level and after heat shock induction. Our results indicate that local adaptation and population history influence population response to the changing temperature.

AB  - The adaptive significance of sympatric mitochondrial (mtDNA) variation and the role of
selective mechanisms that maintain it are debated to this day. Isofemale lines of Drosophila obscura
collected from four populations were backcrossed within populations to construct experimental
lines, with all combinations of mtDNA Cyt b haplotypes and nuclear genetic backgrounds (nuDNA).
Individuals of both sexes from these lines were then subjected to four fitness assays (desiccation
resistance, developmental time, egg-to-adult viability and sex ratio) on two experimental temperatures to examine the role of temperature fluctuations and sex-specific selection, as well as the part
that interactions between the two genomes play in shaping mtDNA variation. The results varied
across populations and fitness components. In the majority of comparisons, they show that sympatric
mitochondrial variants affect fitness. However, their effect should be examined in light of interactions
with nuDNA, as mito-nuclear genotype was even more influential on fitness across all components.
We found both sex-specific and temperature-specific differences in mitochondrial and mito-nuclear
genotype ranks in all fitness components. The effect of temperature-specific selection was found to
be more prominent, especially in desiccation resistance. From the results of different components
tested, we can also infer that temperature-specific mito-nuclear interactions rather than sex-specific
selection on mito-nuclear genotypes have a more substantial role in preserving mtDNA variation in
this model species.

AB  - Drosophila obscura is a common fruit fly that inhabits the temperate forests of Europe. While it is abundant in the north compared to other Drosophila, its density decreases southwards, where it is gradually replaced by other Drosophila species. This study describes variation in the mitochondrial Cyt b gene of D. obscura from several European populations. We observed a large number of haplotypes, together with the structuring of genetic variation. Genetic variation is higher in the west where O1 and related divergent haplotypes dominate. In the east, the O2 haplotype is most frequent, together with haplotypes that recently arose from it. In the central part of the species range, both O1 and O2 are equally present, along with many others. These data reveal signs of population expansions that probably happened earlier in the west, and more recently in the east. Though our conclusions are based on only one genetic marker, limiting the power of the analysis, the results imply either postglacial expansion from two unique sources or, more likely, eastwards stepping-stone expansion. This study adds important information on genetic variation and phylogeography to the obscure biology of D. obscura, a species that has the potential to become an interesting model in evolutionary biology and conservation genetics.

AB  - Global warming and climate change are affecting many insect species in numerous ways. These species can develop diverse mechanisms as a response to variable environmental conditions. The rise in mean and extreme temperatures due to global warming and the importance of the population’s ability to adapt to temperature stress will further increase. In this study, we investigated thermal stress response, which is considered to be one of the crucial elements of population fitness and survival in fast-changing environments. The dynamics and variation of thermal stress resistance traits in D. subobscura flies originating from two natural populations sampled from different altitudes were analysed. Three different temperature regimes (25 °C, 19 °C, and 16 °C) were used for the F1 progeny from both localities to establish six experimental groups and investigate stress resistance traits: desiccation resistance, heat knock-down resistance, starvation resistance, and chill-coma recovery time. We detected that laboratory thermal conditions and population origin may have an effect on the analysed traits, and that sex also significantly influences stress resistance. Individuals from the lower altitude reared at higher temperatures show inferior resistance to thermal shock.

AB  - Lead is one of the most abundant pollutants extensively used all through human history
and, with industrialization and exploitation of its ores, its accumulation in the environment
has increased over time. As a non-essential heavy metal with high persistence and
toxicity, lead has severely negative effects on all organisms, but the adaptation of
populations and species in contaminated environments can be through different
responses. Metallothioneins (Mtn) are involved in heavy metal detoxification as metalbinding
proteins present in all living species, with six isoforms found in
the Drosophila genus. It is presumed that some of them have higher specificity for certain
metal ions, such as Pb2+, but the question arises if there is a specific response related to
species, sex and developmental stage. To further corroborate the metallothioneins with
an affinity for lead ions, the expression of six Mtn genes (MtnA-F) was quantified by RTqPCR
in larvae and adult female and male flies of D. melanogaster and D.
subobscura reared on the standard medium and medium enriched with lead-acetate for
thirteen generations and lead bioaccumulation was measured in adult flies. Our
experimental design allows for the detection of variation in expression of Mtn genes in
response to lead exposure between species, sexes and developmental stages. Results
also show a correlation between Mtn gene expression and measured lead
bioaccumulation in adult male and female flies of both species.

обзиром да се новим бионформатичким анализама и даље откривају нови гени код
неких од њих. Код рода Drosophila је скоро откривен шести ген за металотионеине
(MtnF), који би на основу секвенце требало да кодира протеин богатији цистеином
у поређењу са преосталих пет (Mtn A, B, C, D, E). Функција ових гена је у нашем
истраживању испитивана код две врсте овог рода, при изложености третманима
различитим металима и њиховим концентрацијама, различитог трајања и у
различитим стадијумима развића. Резултати анализе експресије гена MtnF не
указују на претпостављену специфичност везивања одређених метала.

присутна је варијабилност међу таксономским групама. Једна од првих линија
одбране већине организама јесте повећана експресија гена за металотионеине чији
су протеински продукти кратки, богати цистеинима, којима могу везивати јоне
метала и на тај начин вршити детоксикацију. Међу инсектима постоје врсте које
имају само један ген за металотионеин, али и оне које имају већи број гена који су
настали дупликацијама током еволуције. Функционалност и специфичност у
везивању одређених метала металотионеинима још увек није потпуно истражена, с
обзиром да се новим бионформатичким анализама и даље откривају нови гени код
неких од њих. Код рода Drosophila је скоро откривен шести ген за металотионеине
(MtnF), који би на основу секвенце требало да кодира протеин богатији цистеином
у поређењу са преосталих пет (Mtn A, B, C, D, E). Функција ових гена је у нашем
истраживању испитивана код две врсте овог рода, при изложености третманима
различитим металима и њиховим концентрацијама, различитог трајања и у
различитим стадијумима развића. Резултати анализе експресије гена MtnF не
указују на претпостављену специфичност везивања одређених метала., Povećanje koncentracija teških metala u životnoj sredini kod različitih organizama može dovesti do poremećaja ravnoteže koncentracija esencijalnih metala, uzrokujući njihovu toksičnost kao i neesencijalni metali. Iako su mnogi od mehanizama koji su u osnovi odgovora na ovaj tip stresa prilično proučeni, prisutna je varijabilnost među taksonomskim grupama. Jedna od prvih linija odbrane većine organizama jeste povećana ekspresija gena za metalotioneine čiji su proteinski produkti kratki, bogati cisteinima, kojima mogu vezivati jone metala i na taj način vršiti detoksikaciju. Među insektima postoje vrste koje imaju samo jedan gen za metalotionein, ali i one koje imaju veći broj gena koji su nastali duplikacijama tokom evolucije. Funkcionalnost i specifičnost u vezivanju određenih metala metalotioneinima još uvek nije potpuno istražena, s obzirom da se novim bionformatičkim analizama i dalje otkrivaju novi geni kod nekih od njih. Kod roda Drosophila je skoro otkriven šesti gen za metalotioneine (MtnF), koji bi na osnovu sekvence trebalo da kodira protein bogatiji cisteinom u poređenju sa preostalih pet (Mtn A, B, C, D, E). Funkcija ovih gena je u našem istraživanju ispitivana kod dve vrste ovog roda, pri izloženosti tretmanima različitim metalima i njihovim koncentracijama, različitog trajanja i u različitim stadijumima razvića. Rezultati analize ekspresije gena MtnF ne ukazuju na pretpostavljenu specifičnost vezivanja određenih metala.",

AB  - Drosophila subobscura is a wide spread Palearctic species, which possesses very rich
inversion polymorphism in all of the five acrocentric chromosomes. As populations rapid
response to fast changes of environmental conditions can be seen through changes in
inversions frequency, this polymorphism is good candidate to measure the effect of
temperature on the genetic structure of population. Frequencies of particular
chromosomal arrangements are correlated with temperature, with standard
arrangements increasing in frequency at lower temperatures, and more complex
arrangements like J1, U1+2, U1+2+6, E1+2+9, and O3+4 increasing in frequency at higher
temperatures. In order to explore the effect of optimal and suboptimal temperatures on
the arrangements frequencies, samples of D. subobscura population from a high altitude
were reared in laboratory at suboptimal (16°C) and optimal (19°C). Chromosome
arrangements frequencies were analyzed and compared through generations (F0, F5, and
F16). The increasing frequency of complex chromosome arrangements and the
decreasing frequency of standard chromosomal arrangements were observed. There are
significant differences in some of the chromosome arrangements between suboptimal
and optimal conditions and also between generations, indicating laboratory adaptation
through generations.

AB  - Drosophila melanogaster is an important model for antiviral immunity in arthropods, but very few DNA viruses have been described from the family Drosophilidae. This deficiency limits our opportunity to use natural host-pathogen combinations in experimental studies, and may bias our understanding of the Drosophila virome. Here we report fourteen DNA viruses detected in a metagenomic analysis of approximately 6500 pool-sequenced Drosophila, sampled from 47 European locations between 2014 and 2016. These include three new nudiviruses, a new and divergent entomopoxvirus, a virus related to Leptopilina boulardi filamentous virus, and a virus related to Musca domestica salivary gland hypertrophy virus. We also find an endogenous genomic copy of galbut virus, a dsRNA partitivirus, segregating at very low frequency. Remarkably, we find that Drosophila Vesanto virus, a small DNA virus previously described as a bidnavirus, may be composed of up to 12 segments and thus represent a new lineage of segmented DNA viruses. Two of the DNA viruses, Drosophila Kallithea nudivirus and Drosophila Vesanto virus are relatively common, found in 2% or more of wild flies. The others are rare, with many likely to be represented by a single infected fly. We find that virus prevalence in Europe reflects the prevalence seen in publicly-available datasets, with Drosophila Kallithea nudivirus and Drosophila Vesanto virus the only ones commonly detectable in public data from wild-caught flies and large population cages, and the other viruses being rare or absent. These analyses suggest that DNA viruses are at lower prevalence than RNA viruses in D. melanogaster, and may be less likely to persist in laboratory cultures. Our findings go some way to redressing an earlier bias toward RNA virus studies in Drosophila, and lay the foundation needed to harness the power of Drosophila as a model system for the study of DNA viruses.

AB  - Over 100 years of studies in Drosophila melanogaster and related species in the genus Drosophila have facilitated key discoveries in genetics, genomics, and evolution. While high-quality genome assemblies exist for several species in this group, they only encompass a small fraction of the genus. Recent advances in long-read sequencing allow high-quality genome assemblies for tens or even hundreds of species to be efficiently generated. Here, we utilize Oxford Nanopore sequencing to build an open community resource of genome assemblies for 101 lines of 93 drosophilid species encompassing 14 species groups and 35 sub-groups. The genomes are highly contiguous and complete, with an average contig N50 of 10.5 Mb and greater than 97% BUSCO completeness in 97/101 assemblies. We show that Nanopore-based assemblies are highly accurate in coding regions, particularly with respect to coding insertions and deletions. These assemblies, along with a detailed laboratory protocol and assembly pipelines, are released as a public resource and will serve as a starting point for addressing broad questions of genetics, ecology, and evolution at the scale of hundreds of species.

AB  - Drosophila melanogaster is a leading model in population genetics and genomics, and a growing number of whole-genome data sets from natural populations of this species have been published over the last years. A major challenge is the integration of disparate data sets, often generated using different sequencing technologies and bioinformatic pipelines, which hampers our ability to address questions about the evolution of this species. Here we address these issues by developing a bioinformatics pipeline that maps pooled sequencing (Pool-Seq) reads from D. melanogaster to a hologenome consisting of fly and symbiont genomes and estimates allele frequencies using either a heuristic (PoolSNP) or a probabilistic variant caller (SNAPE-pooled). We use this pipeline to generate the largest data repository of genomic data available for D. melanogaster to date, encompassing 271 previously published and unpublished population samples from over 100 locations in >20 countries on four continents. Several of these locations have been sampled at different seasons across multiple years. This data set, which we call Drosophila Evolution over Space and Time (DEST), is coupled with sampling and environmental metadata. A web-based genome browser and web portal provide easy access to the SNP data set. We further provide guidelines on how to use Pool-Seq data for model-based demographic inference. Our aim is to provide this scalable platform as a community resource which can be easily extended via future efforts for an even more extensive cosmopolitan data set. Our resource will enable population geneticists to analyze spatiotemporal genetic patterns and evolutionary dynamics of D. melanogaster populations in unprecedented detail.

AB  - Climate change and global warming are affecting many insect species in different ways.
Organisms develop diverse mechanisms responding to variable environmental conditions. Due to
global warming and the rise in mean and extreme temperatures, the importance of an individual’s
ability to adapt to temperature stress will further increase. Our focus in this study is the thermal
response, which is considered to be one of the crucial elements of individual fitness and survival in
a fast changing environment. We investigated stress resistance traits: desiccation and heat knock-
down time in two Drospohila subobscura populations from two different altitudes (1080m and 1580m
a.s.l.) along Stara planina mountain slopes in Serbia. The F1 progeny of the mass populations from
both localities was used to establish six experimental groups at three different temperature regimes:
25⁰C, 19⁰C and 16⁰C. Our aim was to determine whether there is a correlation between
altitude/origin of populations and/or laboratory thermal evolution within these resistance traits.
Flies from all groups were tested (scored every hour) for desiccation mortality at those temperatures.
To score heat knock-down time all groups were placed into vials with moistened cotton plugs to
prevent desiccation, kept at 37⁰C for seven hours, and knock down flies were scored every 30
minutes. Our results indicate that the population origin, as well as laboratory thermal evolution
have a significant influence on the analysed traits. Individuals originating from the higher altitudes
reared at higher temperatures show better resistance to thermal shock.

AB  - Heavy metals are one of the most persistent pollutants that are introduced into the environment through human activity and ever so growing industrialization, exploitation and utilization of natural heavy metal deposits. Due to their toxicity, heavy metals have severely negative effects on organisms, mainly through oxidative stress. The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of heavy metals on the expression of six metallothionein genes (Mtn A, B, C, D, E, F), with the intention to show to which extent the concentration of metals and the duration of the exposure influence Mtn gene expression, as well as the potential correlation of certain metallothioneins to a specific metal or combination of them. Larvae of the fruit fly Drosophila subobscura were subjected to the treatments with four heavy metals: zinc, copper, cadmium or lead. A combination of cadmium and lead was also included, to detect the combinatory effect of these metals. Treatment with each of the heavy metals was conducted in two concentrations, in short-term (24 hours) and long-term (10 days) time frame. Gene expression was analyzed with qPCR. The pattern of gene expression in response to various treatments indicates that some genes show specificity to certain metals, while others demonstrate a broader response or no response at all.

AB  - Drosophila obscura is a very common fruit fly inhabiting European forests. This species has
a large number of mitochondrial haplotypes of Cyt b gene. We used experimental lines of D. obscura
to test the adaptive significance of intra -population variability of the mitochondrial genome
(mtDNA) and selective forces that maintain it. We chose three isofemale lines with distinct mitochondrial haplotypes of Cyt b gene from each of the two populations sampled in Serbia. Using backcrossing, we created nine experimental lines for each population with all combinations of mtDNA
haplotypes and nuclear genetic backgrounds (nuDNA). Individuals of both sexes were tested separately for desiccation resistance at two temperatures. Cox proportional hazards model, with four
factors: mtDNA, nuDNA, sex and temperature was used to analyze the survival data. In some comparisons we noticed significant effect of mtDNA on desiccation resistance, while all of them showed
significant effect of interaction between mitochondrial and nuclear genome. Temperature in interaction with mtDNA or mito-nuclear genotype more frequently showed significant effect on desiccation resistance compared to sex in interaction with mtDNA or mito-nuclear genotype. Our results
show adaptive significance of intra-population variation of mtDNA and importance of interactions
between mitochondrial and nuclear genome on fitness. Temperature specific mito-nuclear interaction rather than sex-specific selection on mito-nuclear genotypes maintains mtDNA variability in
this model species.

AB  - To explore local adaptation in wild populations at a fine spatial scale we characterized the genetic variability of eight closely located populations of Drosophila subobscura and its associations with microhabitat environmental conditions. Three different genetic markers were assessed: chromosomal inversions, a SNP of mitochondrial ND5 gene and nuclear microsatellites. Population genetic analyses of chromosomal variability revealed significant genetic differentiation between these populations. Gene arrangement frequencies on the E chromosome contributed most to these differences. We also investigated role of mito-nuclear epistasis in mitochondrial genome differentiation and revealed weak linkage disequilibrium (LD) exclusively between O3+4 inversion arrangement and mitochondrial DNA haplotype I in two populations. In addition, the trend in the LD between OST chromosomal arrangement and haplotype II was general in the total sample. Microsatellite analysis revealed an absence of stochastic processes, like census reduction, upon population differentiation. Only a small amount of the genetic variation is related to geographic distance, while most (97%) is attributable to other factors and in some degree to microhabitat variables (temperature, humidity). The analysis of these factors revealed they effect inversion arrangement frequencies, especially E1+2+9, EST and OST. Even though this model organism is known for its high mobility and mostly large effective population size, the results presented here reveal that local adaptations can occur even at a small spatial scale. We propose that locally adapted alleles within chromosomal inversions, as well as joint selective pressures acting on mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, are responsible for the observed adaptation to microhabitat conditions.

abstract = "To explore local adaptation in wild populations at a fine spatial scale we characterized the genetic variability of eight closely located populations of Drosophila subobscura and its associations with microhabitat environmental conditions. Three different genetic markers were assessed: chromosomal inversions, a SNP of mitochondrial ND5 gene and nuclear microsatellites. Population genetic analyses of chromosomal variability revealed significant genetic differentiation between these populations. Gene arrangement frequencies on the E chromosome contributed most to these differences. We also investigated role of mito-nuclear epistasis in mitochondrial genome differentiation and revealed weak linkage disequilibrium (LD) exclusively between O3+4 inversion arrangement and mitochondrial DNA haplotype I in two populations. In addition, the trend in the LD between OST chromosomal arrangement and haplotype II was general in the total sample. Microsatellite analysis revealed an absence of stochastic processes, like census reduction, upon population differentiation. Only a small amount of the genetic variation is related to geographic distance, while most (97%) is attributable to other factors and in some degree to microhabitat variables (temperature, humidity). The analysis of these factors revealed they effect inversion arrangement frequencies, especially E1+2+9, EST and OST. Even though this model organism is known for its high mobility and mostly large effective population size, the results presented here reveal that local adaptations can occur even at a small spatial scale. We propose that locally adapted alleles within chromosomal inversions, as well as joint selective pressures acting on mitochondrial and nuclear genomes, are responsible for the observed adaptation to microhabitat conditions.",

AB  - Mitochondrial DNA variability of Drosophila subobscura Collin from Southeastern Serbia was studied with respect to Restriction Site Analysis (RSA) of complete mitochondrial genome and the nucleotide sequence of Cytochrome b (Cyt b) gene. The aim was to shed more light on the evolutionary forces that shape mtDNA variation of this species. Samples were collected from two sites in the foothills of the Balkan Mountains. No genetic differentiation was found between groups and most of the variation was observed within them. Restriction analysis revealed two main haplotypes and several rare ones. The sequencing of Cyt b gene showed larger number of haplotypes, among which, one is being the most common. The majority of singletons differed from the most frequent haplotype by one nucleotide change. Although some of the observed nucleotide differences may affect their host’s fitness, the observed pattern of variation is consistent with the seasonal fluctuations in population size.

AB  - According to current theoretical predictions, any deleterious mutations that reduce nonsexual fitness may have a negative influence on mating success. This means that sexual selection may remove deleterious mutations from the populations. Males of good genetic quality should be more successful in mating, compared to the males of lower genetic quality. As mating success is a condition dependent trait, large fractions of the genome may be a target of sexual selection and many behavioral traits are likely to be condition dependent. We manipulated the genetic quality of Drosophila subobscura males by inducing mutations with ionizing radiation and observed the effects of the obtained heterozygous mutations on male mating behavior: courtship occurrence, courtship latency, mating occurrence, latency to mating and duration of mating. We found possible effects of mutations. Females mated more frequently with male progeny of nonirradiated males and that these males courted females faster compared to the male progeny of irradiated males. Our findings indicate a possible important role of sexual selection in purging deleterious mutations.

AB  - The effective population size (Ne) represents the number of individuals that can contribute genes equally to the next generation and is usually smaller then the actual size of a population. The aims of this study were: (i) to assess the Ne for two Drosophila subobscura populations sampled from geographically close, but ecologically and topologically distinct habitats, (ii) to compare the results obtained from two independent approaches for estimating Ne [an ecological (capture-mark-release-recapture) and a molecular (microsatellite data, linkage disequilibrium and heterozygote excess)], and (iii) to obtain a long-term Ne estimation using a variety of mutational models for D. subobscura populations. The ecological method showed that the beech wood population (B) had a significantly larger Ne compared to the oak wood population (O). Observed sex ratio was in favor of females in both populations studied. The microsatellite analysis of populations showed that short-term effective population size in beech wood was larger when compared to population from oak wood, which is in concordance with results obtained by the ecological method. Long term Ne of both natural populations is infinite according to a variety of mutational models. Our results confirmed concordance between ecological and molecular methods in Ne estimation, but also suggested that ecological approach showed less robustness. Molecular approach provides a promising opportunity for more effective monitoring of Ne in Drosophila subobscura. However, the biology, demography and history of the populations may affect different estimators differently so we suggest that ecological and molecular approach should be combined in Ne estimation.

AB  - According to theoretical predictions sexual selection can reduce mutational load through male mating success. Males of good genetic quality should be more successful in matings, compared to the males of low genetic quality, thus in this way females can prevent deleterious alleles to be transmitted to the next generation. We tested this hypothesis through set up of two experimental groups from same genetic pool, where in one group genetic quality was manipulated by ionizing radiation. Within each group opportunity for choosing mates was imposed: males and females had no choice or had multiple choice. Mutational load was measured through the variability of different fitness components: fecundity and egg-to-adult viability. Our results indicate that sexual selection can reduce mutational load, only for fecundity. Group with the presence of female choice exhibited higher fecundity than group in which sexual selection was experimentally eliminated, but only in 'irradiated' group. There was no overall difference in egg-to-adult viability between different sexual selection regimes in any of the group. It should be considered that sexual selection can cause sexual conflict, and potential opposite effects of sexual selection and sexual conflict on fitness. Genetic structure of populations, in terms of the level of mutational load, is an important factor which can determinate the role of sexual selection.

AB  - The genetic structure of Drosophila subobscura from the Balkan Peninsula was studied with respect to restriction site polymorphism of mitochondrial DNA in populations from the Derventa River Gorge and Sicevo Gorge (Serbia). To investigate the role of cytonuclear interactions in shaping mitochondrial DNA variability in natural populations of this species, the study was complemented with the analysis of linkage disequilibria between mitochondrial haplotypes and chromosomal inversion arrangements. Similar to other populations of D. subobscura, two main haplotypes (I and II) were found, as well as a series of less common ones. The frequencies of haplotypes I and II accounted for 25.8% and 71.0%, respectively, in the population from the Derventa River Gorge, and for 32.4% and 58.1%, respectively, in the population from Sicevo Gorge. One of the haplotypes harbored a large insertion (2.7 kb) in the A+T rich region. The frequency distribution of both haplotypes did not depart from neutrality. Contrary to prior studies, we did not detect any significant linkage disequilibrium between the two most frequent mtDNA haplotypes and any of the chromosomal arrangements in either of the populations. We conclude that linkage disequilibrium is not a general occurrence in natural populations of D. subobscura, and we discuss how transient coadaptations, ecologically specific selective pressures, and demographics could contribute to population-specific patterns of linkage disequilibrium.

To investigate the role of cytonuclear interactions in shaping mitochondrial DNA variability in natural populations of this species, the study was complemented with the analysis of linkage disequilibria between mitochondrial haplotypes and chromosomal inversion arrangements. Similar to other populations of D. subobscura, two main haplotypes (I and II) were found, as well as a series of less common ones. The frequencies of haplotypes I and II accounted for 25.8% and 71.0%, respectively, in the population from the Derventa River Gorge, and for 32.4% and 58.1%, respectively, in the population from Sicevo Gorge. One of the haplotypes harbored a large insertion (2.7 kb) in the A+T rich region. The frequency distribution of both haplotypes did not depart from neutrality. Contrary to prior studies, we did not detect any significant linkage disequilibrium between the two most frequent mtDNA haplotypes and any of the chromosomal arrangements in either of the populations. We conclude that linkage disequilibrium is not a general occurrence in natural populations of D. subobscura, and we discuss how transient coadaptations, ecologically specific selective pressures, and demographics could contribute to population-specific patterns of linkage disequilibrium.",

AB  - Background: Some populations of Drosophila subobscara (Collin) inhabit geographically separate and ecologically distinct habitats of the central Balkans. Hypothesis: Some of the separate populations were genetically isolated in glacial refugia and have subsequently diverged, leading to high genetic diversity. Methods: We sampled five different D. subobscum populations. Using fragment analysis for 11 microsatellite loci, we used standard diversity parameters (expected heterozygosity, allelic richness, allele size range) to estimate population genetic structure and genetic diversity. Results: We found significant differences in the number of alleles, range of allele sizes, and expected heterozygosity between populations from ecologically distinct microhabitats. However, their geographical distance from each other did not contribute to their genetic differences. Analysis of molecular variance showed slight inter-population differentiation (F-ST = 0.00996, P = 0.0215). Conclusions: Microsatellite variability parameters generally match those of other European populations. Drosophila subobscura populations of the Balkan Peninsula likely did not remain isolated in glacial refugia. Instead, our results indicate high levels of gene flow and local divergence at the molecular level.
