Perturbation-reperturbation test of selection vs. hitchhiking of the two major alleles of Esterase-5 in Drosophila pseudoobscura.

Abstract excerpt

A perturbation-reperturbation tests selective neutrality of 100/100/100/100/100 and 106/100/100/100/100, the two most common alleles at the highly polymorphic X-linked locus Esterase-5 in Drosophila pseudoobscura. A total of 22 replicate populations are set up in cages, 11 start at a high frequency of 76% (U) and 11 at a low frequency of 21% (N) of the 106 allele. Allele frequencies change directionally and...
