Two estimates of genetic variation were employed, one based on the number of alleles in the sample and the other on heterozygosity. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between recombination rate and genetic variation. Several theoretical explanations for this are discussed, background selection being one. A correlation similar to this has been observed previously in Drosophila, one that was higher than what we obtained for Beta. This is consistent with various biological differences between the two species.
