Supernumerary heterochromatin, chiasma conditions and abnormal sperm formation in Dichroplus elongatus (Orthoptera): Intra and interpopulation analysis

Parallel polymorphisms for B chromosome and supernumerary segments on M6, S9 and S10 pairs have been detected in two Argentinian populations of Dichroplus elongatus, Raco (RA) and Tafi Viejo (TV) (Tucumán Province). All these polymorphisms seem to be temporally stable. In all samples of TV, it was o...
