Summary
Satellite DNAs of theDrosophila willistoni group have been analyzed by Hae III endonuclease digestion. Differences were observed between the 2 speciesD. willistoni andD. paulistorum and also between semispecies ofD. paulistorum and, to a lesser extent, between subspecies ofD. willistoni. Differences did not appear to be consistently greater between strains producing sterile hybrid males than between those producing fertile hybrids.
