title: Esterase polymorphism in a population of Zaprionus paravittiger.
abstract: Esterase isozyme variation in Zaprionus paravittiger is controlled by multiple alleles at 2 autosomal loci (Est-1 and Est-3). Est-1 codes for dimeric esterases while Est-3 codes for monomeric esterases. The degree and pattern of esterase polymorphism have been described.
