Limited genetic variability and spatial population structure in grasshoppers between natural and metal-contaminated areas in Egypt.

Abstract excerpt

Pollutants in an environment can have long-term implications for the species living there, resulting in local adaptations with implications for their genetic structure. Heavy metal pollutants infiltrate soils and groundwater, bioaccumulate in food webs, and negatively impact biota. In this study, we investigated the degree to which the genetic structure and variability of the slender green-winged grasshopper...
