Linkage disequilibrium in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster Seasonal variation

C H Langley et al. Genetics. 1977 Jun.

Abstract

Linkage disequilibrium among ten polymorphic allozyme loci and polymorphic inversions on chromosomes 2 and 3 in a natural population of Drosophila melanogaster was examined early and late in the annual season. Similar to previous studies, little linkage disequilibrium was observed among allozymes. The two significant cases that were observed in the first sample behaved in a contradictory way. One declined much more rapidly than expected due simply to recombination; the other declined slowly as expected. There was littly change in allozyme or inversion frequencies during the season.
