From: Chromosomal organization of the 18S and 5S rRNAs and histone H3 genes in Scarabaeinae coleopterans: insights into the evolutionary dynamics of multigene families and heterochromatin

Figure 2

Cytogenetic mapping of the 5S (red) and 18S (green) rDNA clusters in four species of Scarabaeinae belonging to the (a) Oniticellini, (b) Onthophagini, and (c, d) Coprini tribes. (a) Eurysternus caribaeus, (b) Digitonthophagus gazella, (c) Ontherus apendiculatus and (d) O. sulcator. The arrows indicate the sex bivalents. Note the co-localization of the two gene clusters in (a) and (b). Bar = 5 μm.
