Comparative limb myology of four arvicolid rodent genera (mammalia, rodentia).

abstract：:Bristle positions in two rows of bristles on the basitarsus of the second leg of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster were analyzed in order to determine the accuracy of bristle placement within these rows. Within each row the positions of the two terminal bristles were found to be approximately equally variable, and ...

This is unlikely compared with the situation in other insects where only one pattern exists per order. We propose for all Paraneoptera a new and unique interpretation of wing venation pattern, assu...
