The cytogenetic study of samples from different populations revealed the existence of at least 7 distinct Robertsonian translocations which involve the 6 L large autosomes of the 2n 20 ọ 19 cT all-telocentric standard karyotype. Some of the fusions thus share monobrachial homologies. The Robertsonian variation found in D pratensis is discussed in relation to a model of chromosomal evolution for the species in which the changes in recombination patterns produced by the fusions are central. centric fusion polymorphism polytypism grasshopper Resume - Le système robertsonien complexe de Dichroplus pratensis Melanoplinés Acrididés .
