Abstract
⺠Tsetse flies as Glossina palpalis gambiensis usually display heterozygote deficits. ⺠This is interpreted by the presence of flies from remote sites (Wahlund effects). ⺠We analyzed a population of G. palpalis gambiensis known to be isolated. ⺠We found that this population indeed behaves as a random mating population (no Wahlund effect). ⺠This confirms the Wahlund effect hypothesis found elsewhere.
