Abstract
THE fact that the biological environment may determine the frequency of chromosome-changes in populations was first emphasized by Dubinin, Sokolov and Tiniakov1, while Dobzhansky2 first discovered the effect of selection on inversions, and the relation between changes of inversion frequency and seasonal cycles (in Drosophila pseudoobscura).
