Abstract excerpt
Previous studies with Gambusia holbrooki have found associations of allozyme genotype with tolerance to metals, pesticides, heat, and salinity. To examine the generality of these relationships, we looked for similar associations of mercury and heat tolerance with allozyme genotype at the GPI-2, MDH-1 and MDH-2 loci in its sister species Gambusia affinis. This was done to assess if the loci themselves or closely...
