Abstract

The subject of this study is chromosomal polymorphism of a population of Baikal endemic species Sergentia flavodentata (Diptera, Chironomidae) from Frolikha Bay region of hydrothermal venting at a depth of 420–430 m. In 35–67% of larvae, six heterozygous inversions were found to be preserved for 13 years (materials of 1991, 1994, 1996, 1999, 2003). The number of zygotic combinations reached 14; 0.5–0.7 inversions per individual was observed. It is suggested that stable chromosomal polymorphism characteristic of this species is nonrandom, being a mechanism of the population adaptation to the specific conditions of hydrothermal venting community based on bacterial biochemosynthesis.
