Specimens of Ceratitis fasciventris, C. anonae, and C. rosa (FAR) were collected across the African distribution of the three species and genotyped at 16 polymorphic microsatellite markers (27 populations, n=621). Genetic distance analyses allow distinguishing at least five well-supported population groups, each including samples from one of the three morphospecies. The Bayesian assignments implemented in STRUCTURE show that : (1) C. rosa is represented by at least two clusters of individuals (R1, R2) that can occur in sympatry/parapatry, (2) C. fasciventris is also represented by at least two clusters (F1, F2) that appear to be spatially segregated, and (3) C. anonae is genetically more homogeneous and doesn.t show a clear intraspecific structuring (cluster A).Genetic divergences between the C. rosa clusters, as well as between the C. fasciventris clusters are comparable to the interspecific divergences observed among C. fasciventris, C. anonae, and C. rosa. Stronger genetic differentiation occurs between the morphologically similar C. rosa and C. fasciventris, while C. anonae appears as closely related to both F1 and R2. Remarkably, C. rosa represents 99.0% and 97.0% of specimens assigned to clusters R1 and R2, C. fasciventris 100.0% and 98.7% of specimens assigned to clusters F1 and F2 and C. anonae 95.4% of specimens assigned to cluster A.Microsatellite markers appear thus to be a valuable starting point in the molecular diagnosis of the FAR complex.(résumé d'auteur)
