“…Mitochondrial DNA has already been used to investigate intercolonial variability, phylogeography, and colonization patterns in termites (Jenkins et al, 1998(Jenkins et al, , 1999(Jenkins et al, , 2000(Jenkins et al, , 2001Thompson and Hebert, 1998). In our study, sequence divergences and geographical location appeared to be associated.…”

“…fl avipes: Bulmer et al, 2001;Vargo, 2003a, b;DeHeer and Vargo, 2004). This is also true for members of most other termite families investigated so far (e.g., Incisitermes schwarzi Banks (Kalotermitidae): Luykx, 1986; Z. nevadensis (Termopsidae): ShellmanReeve, 2001; Nasutitermes corniger Motschulsky and N. nigriceps Haldeman (Termitidae): Atkinson and Adams, 1997;Thompson and Hebert, 1998).…”

“…Recent developments in molecular methods, such as DNA fi ngerprinting, microsatellite genotyping and analysis of mitochondrial DNA have been successfully used to determine relatedness and inbreeding in many species, including termites (e.g., Kaib et al, 1996;Atkinson and Adams, 1997;Husseneder et al, 1998Husseneder et al, , 1999Husseneder et al, , 2003Husseneder et al, , 2005Thompson and Hebert, 1998;Jenkins et al, 1999;Thorne et al, 1999, Bulmer et al, 2001Grace, 2001a,b, Goodisman andCrozier, 2003;Vargo, 2003a,b;Vargo et al, 2003a, b;DeHeer and Vargo, 2004;Dronnet et al, 2005;Hacker et al, 2005). These methods can be used to detect whether inbreeding avoidance occurs and to infer the mechanisms involved.…”

“…As a result, accurate identification of phenotypes was unfeasible until additional scientific technology allowed evaluation of biochemical and molecular features (Clément, 1981 c;Parton et al, 1981;Clément et al, 1986;Howard et al, 1982;Lange et al, 1989;Crozier, 1990;Luykx, 1993;Brughton, 1995;Haverty and Nelson, 1997;Haverty et al, 1991Haverty et al, , 1996Haverty et al, , 1999Kambhampati et al, 1996;Husseneder et al, 1998;Jenkins et al, 1998Jenkins et al, , 1999Jenkins et al, , 2000Reilly, 1987;Thompson and Hebert, 1998;Vargo, 2000). A total of six Reticulitermes phenotypes were subsequently identified in Europe and many others in the United States.…”
