9815899RandThis one-year award for US-France cooperative research in population biology involves David Rand of Brown University and Michel Veuille of the Universite Pierre et Marie Curie. Their collaboration is aimed at an extensive characterization of genetic variation within and among Old World and New World populations of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster and Drosophila simulans. It is believed that this species originated in Africa, spread to European locations and more recently colonized the New World. The presence of geographically dispersed populations offers a unique opportunity to test genetic variations that may have evolved over centuries. In this one-year project, the investigators will direct their efforts towards collecting wild population samples from European and other old-world localities and prepare representative natural samples of Drosophila melanogaster for later analysis in each laboratory.

这项为期一年的奖授予了美国和法国在人口生物学方面的合作研究，布朗大学的大卫兰德和皮埃尔和玛丽居里大学的米歇尔·韦耶。 他们的合作旨在广泛表征旧世界和新世界果蝇，黑腹果蝇和拟果蝇种群内和种群之间的遗传变异。 据信，该物种起源于非洲，传播到欧洲地区，最近殖民了新大陆。 地理上分散的种群的存在提供了一个独特的机会来测试可能已经进化了几个世纪的遗传变异。 在这个为期一年的项目中，研究人员将努力从欧洲和其他旧世界地区收集野生种群样本，并准备具有代表性的黑腹果蝇自然样本，供各实验室随后分析。
