The identification of genes contributing to the adaptation of local populations is of great biological interest. In an attempt to characterize functionally important differences among African and non-African Drosophila melanogaster populations, we surveyed neutral microsatellite variation in an 850-kb genomic sequence. Three genomic regions were identified that putatively bear an adaptive mutation associated with the habitat expansion of D. melanogaster. A further inspection of two regions by sequence analysis of multiple fragments confirmed the presence of a recent beneficial mutation in the non-African populations. Our study suggests that hitchhiking mapping is a universal approach for the identification of ecologically important mutations.
