Similar rates of protein adaptation in Drosophila miranda and D. melanogaster, two species with different current effective population sizes

BACKGROUND: Adaptive protein evolution is common in several Drosophila species investigated. Some studies point to very weak selection operating on amino-acid mutations, with average selection intensities on the order of N(e)s ~ 5 in D. melanogaster and D. simulans. Species with lower effective popu...
