Worldwide latitudinal clines for the alcohol dehydrogenase polymorphism in Drosophila melanogaster: what is the unit of selection?

EXS - 1 Jan 1997

van Delden W, Kamping A

Abstract excerpt

Geographical clines may reflect the action of natural selection on genetic polymorphisms. In Drosophila melanogaster several latitudinal clines occur for many characters like allozymes, inversions and quantitative traits. The identical nature of these clines on the various continents, both on the Northern and Southern Hemispheres strongly suggests adaptation to specific stress factors. The alcohol dehydrogenase...
