“…Indeed, temperature may only be a limiting factor indirectly through its causal effect on these other environmental factors (Scott, 1974;Vernberg & Vernberg, 1983). The ways in which organisms experience, and develop resistance to, environmental stress may also be very similar for high temperature, high salinity, low oxygen concentration and water stress (Vernberg & Vernberg, 1972;Theede, 1973;Newell, 1976;Sullivan & Ross, 1979;Fitter & Hay, 1987;Parsons, 1989). Therefore, it is convenient to combine high temperature, high salinity, low oxygen availability, and water stress into a single suite of conditions.…”

A literature search was conducted for evidence of natural selection having acted on PGI loci at two levels: (1) on polymorphisrns, and ( 2 ) on homologous loci in closely related species during the speciation process. The results indicated that at both levels there is a significant relationship between relative electrophoretic mobility (probably net charge) and environmental conditions, such that the more anodal allozyme/isozyme is favoured under a suite of conditions comprising one or more of the following: increased temperature, increased salinity, increased exposure and risk of desiccation, and reduced oxygen availability.
