Gametic disequilibria between second chromosome polymorphic arrangements and seven linked allozyme loci were estimated in seven populations of Drosophila buzzatii from Argentina. Significant and consistent associations across populations were detected for Est-1, Est-2, Aldox, and Xdh. Phenograms based on Nei's genetic distance showed that chromosomes carrying the 2ST arrangement were more similar to each other, irrespective of the population from which they were extracted, than to chromosomes carrying the derived 2J and 2JZ3.Restriction of recombination in heterokaryotypes seems to be the best explanation for the significant linkage disequilibria between inversions and the loci located inside the rearranged segments, for example, Est-1 and Aldox, or close to the break points, for example, Est-2. However, epistatic interactions between Xdh, which is outside the inversions and not near the break points, and loci tightly linked to the inversions, is the most likely explanation for the association between Xdh and chromosomal arrangements. Some of the associations detected in endemic Argentinean populations are coincident with data obtained in colonizing populations of the Old World and Australia. Thus historical processes that took place in the original area of the species' distribution can account for these linkage disequilibria in colonized populations of D. buzzatii.
