Abstract excerpt
Argentine populations of Dichroplus elongatus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) are polymorphic for B chromosomes. Previous studies showed that B chromosomes affect body size and some fitness components in Northwestern populations. We studied phenotype and B's variation patterns along a latitudinal cline as well as the relationship between karyotype and body size related traits in 17 populations from East. Body size...
