Abstract

In visual polymorphisms, as a rule there exist geographical and local discontinuities in the frequencies of the genes responsible for colour variability. Many of these discontinuities cannot be satisfactorily explained on the assumption of discontinuities in the intensity of visual selection. For types of selection other than visual, it is often justifiable to suppose at least linkage disequilibrium (see Frydenberg 1963), if not supergene linkage (see Turner 1967), between the “visual” genes and the genes subject to other types of selection.
