Some clover plants produce cyanide to deter herbivores, but the allele for cyanide production makes them more likely to be killed by frost. In warmer southern regions clover populations have a high proportion of cyanide producing alleles, but in colder northern regions, the proportion of cyanide producing alleles is very low. These genetic differences between northern and southern populations is known as:
