Abstract
SUMMARY: The allozyme polymorphism ofDiadromus pulchellushas been analysed at 22 loci, the expression of one (Est-4) being male-limited. Six loci were found polymorphic for two (Ldh-1,Ldh-2,Acp-2,PgiandSdh) or three (Est-3) codominant alleles. Allele frequencies are similar in males and females at four loci in a laboratory population but there are important heterozygote deficiencies in females at three of them. The possibilities of negative heterosis or assortative mating to explain this deficiency are discussed.This publication has 25 references indexed in Scilit:
