An Overview Selection is frequency dependent when the fitness of a phenotype, genotype, or gene (or species) varies with its relative abundance in the population (or community) and hence can be detected only when measured at two or more frequencies. In “negative frequency-dependent selection,” fitness decreases with frequency and thus rare genotypes or species could be maintained at a stable equilibrium. As a form of balancing selection, this mechanism could be one explanation for the persistence of higher than expected...

Abstract Contaminations by heavy metals in aquatic ecosystems strongly affect foodchain relationships through the process of biomagnification. Heavy metals (i.e. Fe, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Co) were determined from sediment, water and macrophytic species (Ceratophyllum demersum, Phragmites australis, and Potamogeton crispus) of Nigeen lake. The concentration of different heavy metals was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The concentration of heavy metals was found highest in sediments (viz: Fe- 61.43 ppm, Zn- 56.54 ppm, Cu- 54.77 ppm, Pb-...
