Recently founded populations represent an enormous challenge for genetic analysis: new
populations are often genetically impoverished, making it hard to find sufficiently variable …

The genetic structure of natural populations of the economically important dipteran species
Ceratitis capitata was analysed using both biochemical and molecular markers. This …

Due to advances in molecular biology techniques, large numbers of highly informative DNA
markers have been developed for the identification of genetic polymorphism. In the last …

Four populations of the rare, highly clonal grass Calamagrostis porteri ssp. insperata were
examined using allozymes and the two polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based markers …

The mosquito Aedes albopictus is one of the most dangerous invasive species. Its
worldwide spread has created health concerns as it is a major vector of arboviruses of public …

Abstract The Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) is a damaging invasive species that has
become established in many Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide. To identify likely …

The phytophagous insects of the Tephritidae family offer different case histories of
successful invasions. An example is Bactrocera dorsalis sensu stricto, the oriental fruit fly …

Zeuxine gracilis, Zeuxine strateumatica, and Eulophia sinensis are wild orchids with different
breeding systems and colonizing abilities. Zeuxine gracilis is an outcrosser with restricted …

The aim of this study was to compare genetic diversity within and among Quercus spp.
populations based on two contrasting types of nuclear markers. Seven mixed stands of …

We studied nuclear gene diversity and population differentiation using 91-98 randomly
amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) loci in the California closed-cone pines knobcone …
