In recent years aphids, with their well‐defined polyphenism, have become favoured as
model organisms for the study of epigenetic processes. The availability of the pea aphid …

We assess and review the impact of the new cytogenetic techniques in insects for their roles
in taxonomy and for a better knowledge of their chromosomal structure. Particular emphasis …

Here, a comprehensive cytogenetic analysis of three species of tenebrionid beetles:
Alphitobius diaperinus, Tenebrio molitor and Zophobas morio, is presented. This paper also …

RESULTS The chromosome numbers and geographic sources of the species studied are
reported in Table 1. The C-banding patterns were obtained for 32 species of beetles. The …

The present study characterizes the complex satellite DNA from the specialized
phytophagous beetle species Chrysolina carnifex. The satellite DNA is formed by six …

The mitotic and meiotic chromosomes of the beetles Epicauta atomaria (Meloidae) and
Palembus dermestoides (Tenebrionidae) were analysed using standard staining, C …

The molecular cytogenetic organization of 17S ribosomal RNA genes (17S rDNA), a part of
the 45S rDNA repeat, was investigated on the chromosomes of the liverwort Marchantia …

Alticinae has the greatest amount of biodiversity among the Chrysomelidae, with 40,000
described species, only 290 of which have been analyzed cytogenetically. The majority of …

Decades before the recent advances in molecular biology and the knowledge of the
complete nucleotide sequence of several genomes, cytogenetic analysis provided the first …

Antheraea mylitta is an endemic insect species producing the world famous tasar silk. Its
populations occupying different ecological and geographical regions show certain degree of …
