[The karyotypic characteristics and chromosome polymorphism of three species of blood-feeding flies (Simuliidae, Diptera) inhabiting the Kola Peninsula and the Baikal Region].

Abstract excerpt

Karyotypes of three species of black flies inhabiting the Kola Peninsula and the Baikal Region--Schoenbaueria pusilla, Gnus rostratum and G. decimatum--have been first described. The diploid number of these species is 2n = 6. The main identification signs of all chromosomes of the set were revealed and a high level of polymorphism in heterozygote inversions was found out. The detected heterozygote inversions are...
