%X Results of fitness estimates at the acid phosphatase locus in D. melanogaster revealed that the observed gene frequency equilibrium at the locus was maintained by frequency-dependent selection. Selection was due mostly to larva-adult viability. Gene-frequency response on media with substrate (IX-naphthyl acid phosphate) added may have been caused in part by selection at the acid phosphatase locus, although the possibility of a correlated response cannot be excluded.
