A local population of Drosophila subobscura from Tiibingen has been studied with respect to inversion polymorphism and allozyme variation at 17 loci. Comparison with other investigations reveals a uniformity of allozyme variation in contrast to the highly differentiated inversion polymorphism of thi

Experiments have been performed to investigate the mechanisms maintaining enzyme polymorphisms in natural populations. We have measured effects on fitness of genotypic variants at three loci, Est-5, Odh, and Mdh-2, in D. pseudoobscura. Significant differences exist among the genotypes in the rate of
We have analysed the evolution of chromosomal polymorphism in ten cage populations of Drosophila subobscura established with wild flies from five different natural populations. Periodic chromosomal analysis of the cages showed that the chromosomes of D. subobscura follow two different types of behav
