An experimental program was designed to investigate how distantly related 2 populations must be before they are different in their most likely responses to the same selection pressure. The hypothesis that selected lines derived from the same population are more likely to evolve by similar genetic changes than lines derived from different conspecific populations was tested. Modifiers of expression of cubitus interruptus (ciD), a mutant which shortens the 4th longitudinal vein in D. melanogaster was artificially selected. Selection toward wild-type expression was performed in 34 replicate lines derived from widely separated populations. The selected lines were then used to test 5 predictions stemming from the hypothesis. The experiment provided no evidence that populations of D. melanogaster are different in their most likely responses to selection for ciD modifiers. These results are contrasted to other studies which demonstrated differences among populations of D. melanogaster in their responses to selection for ethanol tolerance; and sternopleural bristle number. Possible reasons for the differences in results are discussed.
