Fig. 6: Observed numbers of offspring of each color morphs for different mating combinations (bars) in Chorthippus dorsatus, and results from Monte Carlo simulations following the same breeding design (dots).
From: Simple inheritance of color and pattern polymorphism in the steppe grasshopper Chorthippus dorsatus
Simulations assume three loci with two alleles each, one controlling the ability to produce any green color, one turning the upper side brown in the homozygous-recessive state, and one turning lateral sides brown in the homozygous-recessive state. Simulations were run with allele frequencies estimated from morph frequencies in the field (pG = 0.33, pD = 0.49, pL = 0.04).
