The frequency map analysis was applied to the fairly realistic models of the 2/1, 3/2, and 4/3 jovian resonances and the results were compared with the asteroidal distribution at these commensurabilities. The presence of the Hecuba gap at the 2/1 and of the Hilda group in the 3/2 is explained on the basis of different rates of the chaotic transport (diffusion) in these resonances. The diffusion in the most stable 2/1-resonant region is almost two orders in magnitude faster than the diffusion in the region which accommodates the Hildas. In the 2/1 commensurability there are two possible locations for long-surviving asteroids: the one centered at an eccentricity of 0.3 near the libration stable centers with small libration amplitude and the other at a slightly lower eccentricity with a moderate libration amplitude (~90 deg). Surprisingly, all asteroids observed in the 2/1 resonance (8 numbered and multi-opposition objects in Bowell's catalog from 1994) occupy the moderate-libration area and avoid the area in a close vicinity of the libration stable centers. Possible explanations of this fact were discussed. Concerning the 4/3 resonance, the only asteroid in the corresponding stable region is 279 Thule, in spite of the fact that this region is almost as regular (although not as extensive) as the one where the Hilda group in the 3/2, with 79 members, is found.
