- Abstract
The article discusses a study describing the inversion polymorphisms in 38 natural population of cactophilic Drosophila buzzatti. It is stated that in 23 percent of total variation, altitude contributed significantly to population variation than latitude and longitude. It further states that heterozygosity between Drosophila is mainly associated with atmospheric pressure rather than temperature and precipitation.
