GENETIC VARIABILITY OF <i>DIGITONTHOPHAGUS GAZELLA</i> (F.) (COLEOPTERA: SCARABAEIDAE) FROM VIEQUES, PUERTO RICO AND SOUTH AFRICA
Digitonthophagus gazella (F.) has been widely introduced to the New World and both natural dispersal and intentional releases continue. In this study, we compare a population of D. gazella from South Africa and from the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico, using amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis. Genetic diversity was found to be high in both South Africa (H = 0.3623) and Vieque...

متن کاملAfrican dung beetle Onthophagus gazella Fabricius (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) esterase isozymes.
African beetles Onthophagus gazella from both sexes were analyzed by electrophoresis for an investigation of esterase isozymes using alpha-naphthyl propionate and methylumbelliferyl propionate as substrates. Only one of the esterases (Est. 6) reacted with one of the substrates (alpha-naphthyl propionate). Six areas of activity were found, two of them being polymorphic (Est. 3 and Est. 4). For p...

متن کاملOnthophagus fragosus n.sp. a second endemic species of Onthophagus Latreille from Cuba (Coleoptera : Scarabaeidae, Scarabaeinae).
Onthophagus fragosus, a new species of Onthophagus, is described from Cienfuegos Province on the island of Cuba. Specimens were collected in leaf litter samples at elevations of 650-935 m. It appears to be most closely related to O. marginatus Castelnau, the only other Cuban endemic Onthophagus species. Images of habitus and of male genitalia are provided.
