Patterns of ethanol and acetic-acid tolerance in adult individuals revealed significant genetic divergence. Parallel patterns of latitudinal ethanol tolerance 10 to 15 and acetic-acid tolerance to were observed in adult individuals from the 9 geographical populations. Thus the northern and southern populations revealed divergence in the patterns of resource utilisation. The parallel latitudinal genetic divergence at the Adh locus and for ethanol and acetic-acid tolerance in Indian populations of Drosophila melanogaster could be explained by balancing natural selection varying spatially along the north-south axis of the Indian subcontinent.

Neuf populations géographiques indiennes de Drosophila melanogaster échelonnées sur une latitude de 20 N révèlent une variation clinale significative au locus de I alcool déshydrogénase AdhJ avec un accroissement significatif de la frequence de I allele Adi avec la latitude 0 036 0 004 par degré de latitude et un indice de fixation F ST 0 25.
