Population genetics of the metabolically related Adh, Gpdh and Tpi polymorphisms in Drosophila melanogaster : II. Temporal and Spatial Variation in an Orchard Population Karen M. NIELSEN A.A. HOFFMANN S.W. McKECHNIE Department of Genetics, Monnsh University, Clayton, 3168 Victoria, Australia Summary Seasonal and spatial variation in gene frequencies at 3 diallelic loci : alcohol dehy- drogenase (Adh), glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (Gpdh) and triosephosphate isomerase (Tpi), have been studied in an orchard population of D. melanogaster. Gene frequency at the Tpi locus varied seasonally and was associated positively with total monthly rainfall measured both immediately prior to and concurrent with the month of collection. Temporal heterogeneity, not associated with the environmental parameters, was present at the Adh locus. Gpdh-F frequency was negatively associated with mean monthly maximum tempe- rature measured prior to the time of collection. Within the orchard site, spatial heterogeneity in gene frequency at the Tpi locus was observed within collections. A deficiency of Gpdh heterozygotes was observed in individual trap samples and among collections with traps pooled. Overall, this variation is interpreted as being due to sampling from a population of partially isolated subgroups, founded by few individuals, and dependent upon transient pockets of fruit resources.
