Abstract excerpt
Allele frequency variation at the phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) locus in Californian populations of the beetle Chrysomela aeneicollis suggests that PGI may be undergoing natural selection. We quantified (i) apparent Michaelis-Menten constant (K(m)) of fructose 6-phosphate at different temperatures and (ii) thermal stability for three common PGI genotypes (1-1, 1-4, and 4-4). We also measured air temperature...
