The phylogenetic relationships and divergence times of 39 drosophilid
species were studied by using the coding region of the Adh gene. Four
genera--Scaptodrosophila, Zaprionus, Drosophila, and Scaptomyza (from
Hawaii)--and three Drosophila subgenera--Drosophila, Engiscaptomyza, and
Sophophora--were included. After conducting statistical analyses of the
nucleotide sequences of the Adh, Adhr (Adh-related gene), and nuclear rRNA
genes and a 905-bp segment of mitochondrial DNA, we used Scaptodrosophila
as the outgroup. The phylogenetic tree obtained showed that the first major
division of drosophilid species occurs between subgenus Sophophora (genus
Drosophila) and the group including subgenera Drosophila and Engiscaptomyza
plus the genera Zaprionus and Scaptomyza. Subgenus Sophophora is then
divided into D. willistoni and the clade of D. obscura and D. melanogaster
species groups. In the other major drosophilid group, Zaprionus first
separates from the other species, and then D. immigrans leaves the
remaining group of species. This remaining group then splits into the D.
repleta group and the Hawaiian drosophilid cluster (Hawaiian Drosophila,
Engiscaptomyza, and Scaptomyza). Engiscaptomyza and Scaptomyza are tightly
clustered. Each of the D. repleta, D. obscura, and D. melanogaster groups
is monophyletic. The splitting of subgenera Drosophila and Sophophora
apparently occurred about 40 Mya, whereas the D. repleta group and the
Hawaiian drosophilid cluster separated about 32 Mya. By contrast, the
splitting of Engiscaptomyza and Scaptomyza occurred only about 11 Mya,
suggesting that Scaptomyza experienced a rapid morphological evolution. The
D. obscura and D. melanogaster groups apparently diverged about 25 Mya.
Many of the D. repleta group species studied here have two functional Adh
genes (Adh-1 and Adh-2), and these duplicated genes can be explained by two
duplication events.
