Breeding sites of Drosophila melanogaster contain variable levels of ethanol
- class="label">•
One Aldehyde dehydrogenase allele is favored by high ethanol levels
- class="label">•
The alternative allele is favored in flies not exposed to ethanol

As a result, a polymorphism is maintained in natural populations
