i5K Comments for Chorthippus parallelus
Chorthippus parallelus is an evolutionary model species, particularly for the study of hybrid zones and speciation but also for sexual selection (pre and post copulation), acoustic and chemical signal evolution, chromosomal evolution and concerted evolution. It is ecologically important as the most widespread and abundant grasshopper in Europe. It represents the Gomphocerinae, major radiation of acoustically signalling species. It also has a very large genome and so is interesting in the context of genome evolution. Samples are easy obtained but inbred lines are not available. Roger Butlin
