“…The role of Est-6 in D. melanogaster mating propensity (Richmond et al, 1980(Richmond et al, , 1990Ludwig et al, 1993); its association with increased reproductive fitness, pre-adult viability, tissue expression pattern, and levels of enzyme activity strongly indicate that natural selection is involved in shaping the S/F and Rsa I 2 / Rsa I þ polymorphisms (Gromko et al, 1984;Game and Oakeshott, 1990;Richmond et al, 1990;Ludwig et al, 1993;Oakeshott et al, 1994Oakeshott et al, , 1995Odgers et al, 1995;Tamarina et al, 1997). Our window analysis also supports that these are balanced polymorphisms (Fig.…”
