Heritability of male morph in the bulb mite, Rhizoglyphus robini (Astigmata, Acaridae).

Experimental & applied acarology - 1 Jan 2003

Radwan Jacek

Abstract excerpt

In several species of Acaridae (Astigmata), heteromorphic males, possessing a sharply terminated third pair of legs which they use to mortally stab other males, coexist with scrambler males with unmodified legs. Previous research showed that in the bulb mite, Rhizoglyphus robini (Claparède), the male morph is heritable. In this study I used a different population and carried out selection in both downward and...
