Abstract:Here, we examine genetic diversity and dispersal patterns in populations of the agricultural pest Nezara viridula from Argentina using mitochondrial control region sequences.
The DNA sequence comparisons of 1837 base pairs of the control region revealed 60 haplotypes determined by a total of 108 variable sites. The observed total haplotype diversity (Hd) value was 0.99, and the nucleotide diversity was 0.00423 and 0.00571 according to π and θW, respectively.
The high haplotype diversity and low nucleotide dive… Show more
