  • The second use of polytene chromosomes in evolutionary studies is as tracers of phylogeny [ 3 4 5 6 7 ] . This approach has resulted in important and detailed chromosomal phylogenies for several groups of flies in the genus Drosophila . Lists of species for which polytene chromosome maps have been produced are available [ 8 9 ] , and over 300 species of Drosophila have been examined at this level.

  • An important factor in this area are new phylogenies of the genus [17,18], which consistently suggest the surprising possibility that the closely related hermaphroditic species

  • Their adult anatomy and distribution have been used to construct phylogenies for actinopterygian evolution, and details of their embryonic development are likely to have similar usefulness.

  • Given the alternate hypotheses of (1) Common origin followed by sequence divergence, or (2) Independent origin of multiple arsC sequence types with broadly similar reaction centers and general mechanisms, based on the phylogenies observed and the general rarity of convergent evolution at a sequence level [ 33 34 ] we suggest that the former is more likely.
