Abstract
The frequencies of cosmopolitan inversions and of Adh alleles in D. melanogaster, and population sizes of D. melanogaster and D. simulans have been monitored for two years in seven south-eastern Queensland sites. D. melanogaster population sizes showed greater summer increases and winter decreases than those of D. simulans. Adh allele frequencies showed no seasonal or yearly variation, and no significant correlations with environmental variables after accounting for linkage disequilibrium with In(2L)t. Some inversion frequencies showed regular summer to winter declines, yearly variation, and significant correlations with population size. Thus, the temporal variation of some inversion frequencies, unlike that for Adh allele frequencies, paralleled previously reported frequency variation over latitude.
