✦ Synopsis
Mitochondrial DNA, sex linked allozymes, and chromosome A gene arrangement data, from eight European natural populations of Drosophila subobscura, were analyzed to determine the existence of latitudinal clines. Strong north-south correlations with latitude were found for gene arrangements and for the Hbdh and 6Pgdh allozymes. Gametic associations between the A 2 gene arrangement, the Hbdh 96 and the 6Pgdh 96 alleles, point out some kind of epistatic interaction. At mtDNA level, the Hae III, A variant did not show a previously found north-south clinal variation.
