Male and female Eyprepocnemis plorans
The same characteristics that made grasshoppers exquisite models for classical cytogenetic studies - few, large chromosomes and well-defined meiotic stages at the cytological level - also make them excellent organisms in which to study protein immunolocalization during meiosis. Shown here are male (top) and female (bottom) Eyprepocnemis plorans (see Valdeolmillos et al., e28).
