✦ Synopsis

Evidence is presented which shows that the recombination fraction in Drosophila melanogaster females is a variable related to the function of the Adh locus. The ecological and evolutionary relevance of this finding is discussed.

The molecular nature of lethal and semilethal mutations in the Pgd locus of D. melanogaster coding for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) was studied. All the 11 mutations affect the structural gene of the Pgd locus: 3 semilethal mutations resulted in altered 6PGD molecules with decreased catal

Multiple choice mating experiments were carried out with the alcohol dehydrogenase (Adh) genotypes FF and SS of Drosophila melanogaster. Rearing conditions and age of the flies were varied. The large mating advantage of FF for 4-6 days old flies, reared at 25°C, found by Pot et al. (1980), was confi

High frequencies of the fast allele of alcohol dehydrogenase-2 (Adh-2F) are found in populations of Drosophila mojavensis that inhabit the Baja California peninsula (race BII) whereas the slow allele (Adh-2S) predominates at most other localities within the species' geographic range. Race BII flies
