Abstract excerpt
Small size results from homozygosity for the polymorphic M4 inversion in the grasshopper Sinipta dalmani. There is directional sexual selection in males favouring the standard sequence and larger individuals. Here I report differential adult male survival in relation to body size and shape in a chromosomally polymorphic population of S. dalmani. Adult male selection was examined by scoring the same five...
