Summary
| Description |
English:
An experiment demonstrating allopatric
speciation
in the fruit fly (
Drosophila
pseudoobscura
) conducted by Diane Dodd. A single
population
of flies was divided into two, with one of the populations fed with
starch
-based food and the other with
maltose
-based food. After the populations had diverged over many generations, the groups were again mixed; it was observed that the flies would mate only with others from their adapted population.
