Experiments in the hybridisation of tsetse-flies (Glossina, Diptera) and the possibility of a new method of control.F. L. Vanderplank, Transactions of the Royal Entomological Society of London, 98:1-18. 1947.![]() Hybridisation of Glossina morsitans Westwood, G. swynnertoni Austen and G. pallidipes Austen was attempted in order to discover(a) Whether the three could be regarded as distinct species or as sub-species of morsitans ; (b) Whether they would mate freely with one another, and if ...

Tsetse hybridsW. H. Potts, Nature, 154:606-607. 1944.![]() IN 1936 I attempted to cross various species of tsetse (Glossina) with the idea that, should they hybridize readily, and should the resultant hybrids prove sterile, this might be tried as a measure of control. Corson had already, in 1932, obtained three offspring from crosses ... Keywords: Glossina morsitans, history 1900-1950, hybrid incompatibilities, swynnertoni, tsetse fly |

Hybridization between Glossina Species and Suggested New Method for Control of Certain Species of TsetseF. L. Vanderplank, Nature, 154:607-608. 1944.![]() Corson and Potts record crossing Glossina swynnertoni Aust. with G. morsitans Westwood. Corson crossed twelve female G. morsitans with male G. swynnertoni, of which only two females produced a total of three pupæ. All his females lived long enough for reproduction to take place. ...
