Abstract: 
Experiments were performed to study the relationship between recombination rates and three components of fitness (egg‐to‐adult viability, female fecundity and longevity) of Drosophila melanogaster. It was found that fitness components were inversely associated with recombination rates. Statistically significant negative correlation was detected only between female fecunditiy and recombination rates. Since this suggests that there is selection for reduced recombination rates, evolutionary implications of these findings are discussed. Weibchen‐Rekombinationsrate und Fitness bei Drosophila melanogaster Die Untersuchung befaßt sich mit dem Zusammenhang, zwischen der Rekombinationshäufigkeit und drei verschiedenen Fitnesskomponenten (Ei‐Imago‐Überlebensrate, Weibchen‐Fekundität und Überlebensalter) bei Drosophila melanogaster. Die Ergebnisse lassen allgemein eine negative Korrelation zwischen Rekombinationshäufigkeit and Fitness erkennen; nur far die Weibchen‐Fekunditat ist die negative Korrelation jedoch statistisch signifikant. Da sich daraus schließen läßt, daß die Selektion eine reduzierte Rekombinationshäufigkeit bevorzugt, wird die allgemeine, evolutive Bedeutung der Resultate diskutiert.
