Abstract: | The influence of inbreeding on several morphological characters as proboscis, wings, leg and palp segments was examined in strictly inbred lines of C. pipiens autogenicus, starting with females from a natural population. The results show the importance of ccological conditions, especially temperature, during larval development of the population. We report a progressive average size reduction from the second inbred generation. The length variability increases in practically all cases, depending on the degree of inbreeding, which is often more marked in certain organs. The symmetry regulation is strongly affected. We observe highly significant individual values in the highly inbred generations. The distribution values clearly mark a left/right disturbance. The progression of asymmetry as a function of the degree of inbreeding is more marked in certain organs in the two sexes. The results show the importance of the advantage of heterozygotes. |
