Chromosomes of Symphyta (Hymenoptera): current state and perspectives of research
V. E. Gokhman
Abstract:The current state and perspectives of karyotype research on the suborder Symphyta (Hymenoptera), or sawfl ies and horntails, are discussed. The haploid chromosome number (n) in the studied members of the group can vary from 5 to 35, although the ancestral state of this character is apparently closer to n = 25. Metacentrics and submetacentrics prevail in the karyotypes of the majority of Symphyta, but subtelocentrics and/or acrocentrics are often present in the chromosome sets of species with higher chromosome … Show more
