From the outset multiple causes have been suggested for changes in melanic gene
frequency in the peppered moth Biston betularia and other industrial melanic moths. These …

Heliconius melpomene is a mimetic butterfly that exhibits great geographic variation in color
pattern. We present here a genetic linkage map based on analysis of genetic markers in 73 …

We have constructed a linkage map for the peppered moth (Biston betularia), the classical
ecological genetics model of industrial melanism, aimed both at localizing the network of loci …

Historical datasets documenting changes to gene frequency clines are extremely rare but
provide a powerful means of assessing the strength and relative roles of natural selection …

Background Develo** lepidopteran microsatellite DNA markers can be problematical, as
markers often exhibit multiple banding patterns and high frequencies of non-amplifying" null" …

Currently it remains difficult to obtain robust microsatellite markers for Lepidoptera. In an
attempt to overcome the problems associated with develo** microsatellite markers for this …

Applying microsatellite DNA markers in population genetic studies of the pest moth
Helicoverpa armigera is subject to numerous technical problems, such as the high …

Cydia pomonella L. is an important insect pest of pome fruits worldwide. We have isolated
and characterized 17 microsatellite loci from the enriched genomic libraries constructed …
