Effects of centric-shift polymorphisms on chiasma conditions in Trimerotropis pallidipennis (Oedipodinae:Acrididae)
Two populations of Trimerotropis pallidipennis from Mendoza (MA) and Uspallata (UA) (Argentina), polymorphic with respect to centric shifts and B-chromosomes, were cytologically analysed. The medium-sized chromosomes from both populations were polymorphic for 7 (MA) and 5 (UA) inversions respectivel...
