New Species and Distributions of Neotropical Phileurini and a New Phileurine from Burma (coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae)

Polymorphic microsatellite loci from the western corn rootworm (Insecta: Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and cross-amplification with other Diabrotica spp

Corn rootworms ( Diabrotica spp.) make up the major insect pest complex of corn in the US and Europe, and there is a need for molecular markers for genetics studies. We used an enrichment strategy to develop microsatellite markers from the western corn rootworm ( Diabrotica virgifera virgifera ). Of 54 loci isolated, 25 were polymorphic, and of these, 17 were surveyed for variability in 59 wild...
