Regression and Fourier analysis methods were used to separate the temporal variation of the frequencies into linear and cyclic components. Different patterns in temporal variation were detected. The frequency of In 2R NS was stable In 3R C tended to increase its frequency across the years In 3R P showed oscillations that could not be attributed to cyclic changes. In 2L t and In 3L P showed seasonal cyclic changes with increasing frequencies during the warm months which are thought to be mainly due to the superior relative fitness of heterozygotes as compared with inversion non-carrier individuals. The fall of frequencies in the cold months is probably a consequence of the shorter lifespan of the carriers of these inversions during the winter. The differences between the temporal variation patterns of the inversions do not support the hypothesis of a single climatic factor as being responsible for the geographic cline of the cosmopolitan inversions. Without ignoring the influence of underlying selective factors of macroclimatic nature other ecological and genetical factors uncorrelated with latitude are suggested to play á role in the temporal dynamics of the inversions as well as in their geographic distribution.
