β¦ Synopsis
Lewontin and Krakauer's test (Genetics 74: 17% 195,1973) of the spatial heterogeneity of F values has been applied to the data from four natural populations of Drosophita subobscura. It was found that genes behaving as selected were the ones that are found in linkage disequilibria with inversions within which they are located. What was really tested was then the behavior of these inversions. It seems desirable when this test is applied to have an assurance that the genes tested are not in linkage disequilibria with inversions.

The multiple insemination of Drosophila subobscura females in nature was studied by the analysis of single female offspring using two highly polymorphic enzyme systems. On qualitative grounds it was found that 23% of these females were inseminated at least twice. The 'power of detection' of one enzy
Populations of Drosophila melanogaster from Eugene and Medford, Oregon, and from Napa and Bakersfield, California, were studied to determine whether second chromosome allozyme allele (aGpdh, Mdh and Adh) and inversion [In(2L)t and In(2RJNS] frequencies exhibit dines, as do populations along the East
The inversion polymorphism and the allozyme variability of a wild Drosophila mbobscura population from the Caucasus (U.S.S.R.) was studied and compared to other populations from Scotland, Scandinavia, Central Europe and North Africa.

A number of experimental populations of Drosophila melanogaster either monochromosomal (e.g. isogenic) or polychromosomal (e.g. random heterozygous) with respect to their second chromosome were obtained by use of the L Cy/Pm marker strain. All populations were initially lethal free. Every other gene
