This competition has been studied mainly, preferable Land snails of the genus Cepaea have several Ninety-five samples of allopatric and sympatric populations of Cepaea ne!n,orn.lis and Cepaea hortensis were collected near the southern limit of the aera occupied by Cepaea are slopes of the Iberian Changes in phenotype frequencies were observed passing from allopatry to sympatry in both species. In the North, a decrease in the frequencies of yellow, yellow-banded and effectively banded yellow snails was detected in sympatric populations of Cepaea nemoralis and, at the same time, the frequencies of the banded, five-banded, and effectively banded phenotypes in Cepaea hortensis increased. These changes in phenotype frequencies between allopatric and sympatric populations in one species may depend upon the phenotype frequency of the other. Such frequency dependent selection may interact with other selective forces and with competitive selection. We believe that, in southern populations, these changes are due to climatic selection in both species. Résumé - Sélection dans les populations sympatriques de Cepaea. La compétition interspécifique produit des modifications évolutives. Cette compétition a été étudiée surtout d’utiliser des sur des caractères dont d’hérédité était mal connue. caractères dont l’hérédité est établie, les escargots du genre Cepaea constituent un bon modèle pour ces recherches. On 95 échantillons de Comme il est préférable a prélevé populations allopatriques et sympatriques de Cepaea nemoralis et de Cepaea hortensis à proximité de l’extrémité méridionale de l’aire d’extension de Cepaea hortensis.
