The frequency of gonadal dysgenesis GD sterility characteristic of the P-M system was estimated in 120 populations collected in 1980-1983 from arround the world in order to determine the present distribution of this system of hybrid dysgenesis. Marked geographical differences appear between these populations. In North America most of theni possess individuals of the p and the Q type whereas the M type is absent or present at only very low frequencies. A similar pattern has been found in central Africa whereas the p type is practically absent in North Africa Europe and Asia. In these regions another pattern exists. In France the Q type is very frequent and the M type of low frequency whereas M becomes very common going to the east of Yugoslavia and Tunisia towards India China and Japan. Hypotheses on the evolution of the P-M system in natural populations polymorphic for the p elements will be discussed. Key words Transposable elements populations polymorphism evolution.
