Effects of B chromosomes and supernumerary segments on morphometric traits and adult fitness components in the grasshopper, Dichroplus elongatus (Acrididae).

Journal of evolutionary biology - 1 Jan 2007

Rosetti N, Vilardi J C, Remis M I

Abstract excerpt

The South American species, Dichroplus elongatus, is polymorphic for B chromosomes and supernumerary segments in chromosome pairs M6 (SS6), S9 (SS9) and S10 (SS10). Both forms of supernumerary heterochromatin shape chiasma frequency and distribution and B chromosomes also affect male fertility. Here, we analysed the effects of these polymorphisms on morphometric traits (total, 3rd femur, 3rd tibia, thorax and...
