Title: Interspecific Variation in Ovariole Number in Melanopline Grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae)

Ovariole number was determined for 10 species of melanopline grasshoppers. Regression analysis showed that interspecific variation in ovariole number is due to body size (r2 = 0.93). Body size and ovariole number are associated with length of the growing season, which was found to be a function of elevation.Read More
