The B chromosome polymorphism of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemics plorans in North Africa: III. Mutation rate of the B chromosomes
Article Abstract:
The B chromosome variation in nine Moroccan populations of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans was analyzed for three consecutive years. The results showed that B chromosome mutation rate was remarkably similar in both Moroccan and Spanish populations that suggest its dependence on B chromosome intrinsic factors.

Common origin of B chromosome variants in the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans
Article Abstract:
The article focuses on the study of nine B chromosome variants in the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans collected from Spain and Morocco. The evidence that these chromosomes are composed of repetitive and ribosomal DNA sequences and are of common origin is presented.

The B chromosome polymorphism of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans in North Africa: I. B variants and frequency
Article Abstract:
The article examines B chromosome distribution in the African population of the grasshopper Eyprepocnemis plorans, and the existence of low-frequency B chromosome variants. An analysis of B chromosome frequency variation in time and space is presented.
