Chromosomal and allozymic diagnosis of three species of Drosophila. Drosophila pseudoobscura, D. persimilis, and D. miranda

J Hered. 1977 Mar-Apr;68(2):71-4. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.jhered.a108793.

Abstract

Techniques are presented for distinguishing the sibling species D. pseudoobscura, D. persimilis, and D. miranda in two ways: by differences in the banding sequence of salivary chromosomes, and by the frequencies of allozymes at certain diagnostic loci.
