In laboratory experiments it has been found that the organophosphate insecticide dimethoate acts as a selective agent on gene A esterase polymorphism of adult Dacus oleae, selecting against the silent isoallele. However, in the small natural population of Haghioi Apostoli dimethoate does not seem prima vista to act as a selective agent; instead, observed gene frequency changes are a consequence of population size reduction (genetic drift). The method used to arrive at this conclusion is proposed as a general method for distinguishing selection from drift as a cause of gene frequency changes in natural populations. An indirect estimate of mutation rate for enzyme polymorphisms is also given (10-3to 10-4). This estimate, however, includes migration as a factor mimicking mutation.
