Abstract excerpt

Mitochondrial DNA, sex linked allozymes, and chromosome A gene arrangement data, from eight European natural populations of Drosophila subobscura, were analyzed to determine the existence of latitudinal clines. Strong north-south correlations with latitude were found for gene arrangements and for...
