Experimental manipulation reveals differential effects of colour pattern on survival in male and female pygmy grasshoppers

• Populations of pygmy grasshoppers, Tetrix subulata, exhibit genetically coded discontinuous variation in colour pattern. To determine whether the dynamics of this polymorphism is Likely to be affected by selective processes, rather than by stochastic even
