Abstract excerpt
Weak selection is maintaining the Drosophila americana X/4 fusion chromosomal frequency cline. The gene(s) harbouring the advantageous variant(s) that is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of this chromosomal frequency gradient must be located in a region of the X and/or 4th chromosome that is genetically isolated between the X/4 fusion and non-fusion forms. The limits of these regions must thus be...
