Özet

Laboratory breeding experiments investigated the inheritance of dorsal color/pattern variation in the meadow spittlebug Philaenus spumarius using material from two populations from northwestern Turkey. The genetic basis of the polymorphism in the Turkish populations differs from that established for urban Welsh (Great Britain) populations. A preliminary study of the Turkish populations revealed that the trilineatus phenotype is dominant over the marginellus and typicus/populi phenotypes in both sexes. Marginellus is dominant over typicus/populi in females but recessive in males. This model of inheritance differs from urban Welsh populations, where marginellus is dominant over typicus/populi in both sexes.
