Abstract

The two sibling Drosophila species, D. simulans and D. melanogaster, are believed to coexist in nature sharing food and space. However, D. simulans prefers a semi-natural environment while D. melanogaster lives near human habitation. A weak seasonal isolation was observed between the two species, i.e., a unimodal population distribution peaking in August was found for D. melanogaster while a bimodal population distribution peaking in July and September was found for D. simulans.
