title: Low allozyme and mtDNA variability in the island endemic species Drosophila sechellia (D. melanogaster complex).
abstract: Genetic variability of D. sechellia is investigated at both mitochondrial and nuclear levels. The results reveal the existence of a single main type of mtDNA with very few variants and a very low enzyme polymorphism. This situation is consistent with the small population size of this specialized species.
