Six experimental populations of D. pseudoobscura were maintained at three different temperatures for more than 8 years. All the populations have originally descended from the same founders. The populations were examined for evidences of genetic divergence. The pre-adult viabilities of the flies from these populations, and of their F1 and F2 hybrids, were studied at 16°C., 25°C., and 27°C. The results indicate that the populations have diverged genetically from each other. Some divergence is observed not only between populations kept at different temperatures, but also between the replicate populations kept at the same temperature.
