Microevolution in action: genetic markers of climatic change

The introduction and rapid spread of Drosophila subobscura in the New World three decades ago has provided a unique opportunity for determining the predictability and rate of evolution of geographic clines. Furthermore, comparisons of recent with historical samples of chromosome inversion frequencies provide opportunities to determine whether genetic change is tracking climate change in natural populations.
