Abstract excerpt
Genetic variability between populations of the orthopteran insect Tetrix tenuicornis, collected from six locations in Poland, was assayed by using the random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) method. The results show that insects in a population from metal polluted areas in Bolesław have reduced genetic variability in contrast to five other populations located in unpolluted areas. The...
