Possible origin of polymorphism for chromosome number in the assassin bug Zelurus femoralis longispinis (Reduviidae: Reduviinae)
In this study, we analysed a population of Zelurus femoralis longispinis polymorphic for chromosomal number. The fundamental karyotype of this subspecies is 2n=22=20A+XY (male), but individuals with 2n=23=20A+XY+extra chromosome have been found at high frequency and collected at different time perio...

In this study, we analysed a population of Zelurus femoralis longispinis polymorphic for chromosomal number.
