The Genetics of the Grouse Locust (Classic Reprint): Tettigidea Parvipennis Harris: Tettigidea Parvipennis Harris (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Wing length and genetics in a land of grasshoppers: a clear, data-driven view
The book explains how the long and short wings in Tettigidea parvipennis are inherited. It describes how a single gene pair is linked to wing length, and how crossing experiments help separate genetic effects from environmental factors.
Readers will see how researchers analyze offspring to test for dominance, inheritance patterns, and possible lethal genes. The text pulls together measurements, charts, and discussions of how chromosomes influence visible traits, with a focus on practical methods and observed results.
- How wing length relates to pronotum size and body form in this species
- Examples of crosses and how they support genetic explanations for wing forms
- What crossing over and chromosome grouping reveal about trait inheritance
- Where environment and nutrition may shape appearance, alongside heredity data
Ideal for readers who want a grounded look at genetics in a real insect system and how scientists test hereditary hypotheses.

The Genetics of the Grouse Locust: Tettigidea Parvipennis Harris
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the genetic mechanisms of grouse locusts, a valuable species for genetic research due to their intermediate position between non-economically important grouse locusts and larger agricultural pests. The author details the history of genetic studies on grouse locusts, beginning with early taxonomic and natural history work in the early 1900s. The book highlights the inheritance patterns of color patterns in different grouse locust species, including the inheritance of dominant color factors and the occurrence of mutations. It discusses the role of parthenogenesis and the production of males from homogametic females. The author also explores the use of X-rays to induce translocations, or the exchange of genetic material between chromosomes. The book provides insights into the genetic basis of wing length and pigmentation patterns, and discusses the significance of these findings for understanding the evolution and genetic diversity of grouse locusts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334425844_0
