With both acids tolerance was much higher in D sechellia than in D simulans while Fl and backcross progeny exhibited intermediate characteristics. Tolerance to these two acids in D sechellia appears to be a major mechanism for understanding the ecological specialization of that species to the toxic morinda. Significant differences in tolerance were found between sexes especially in Fl hybrids. The role of X-linked tolerance genes was however not obvious from the backcross generation and most of the interspecific difference seems to be autosomal and polygenic. Attempts were made to introgress the tolerance of D sechellia into D simulans by selecting with either morinda fruit or pure octanoic acid. Both techniques proved to be unsuccessful. Introgressed genotypes progressively returned to the apparently pure D simulans phenotype and tolerance regressed to the low value typical of that species. This barrier against introgression seems quite similar to the barrier observed in hybrid zones of various animal species. ecological specialization hexanoic acid octanoic acid interspecific hybrids barrier to introgression Resume Analyse génétique par croisement interspecifique de la tolerance de Drosophila sechellia aux deux principaux acides aliphatiques de sa plante hôte.
