Despite recognition of the western drywood termite, Incisitermes minor (Hagen), as one of the most economically important and destructive termite species in the USA, both its population and colony breeding structure genetically remain unclear. Here, we present primer sequences and initial characterization for 15 polymorphic microsatellite loci. In a sample of 30 individuals, representing six geographically distinct locations collected in California, USA, three to 15 alleles were detected segregating per locus. Within a single population observed heterozygosity ranged from 0.050 to 0.866.
尽管美国已经认识到西方干木白蚁(Incisitermes minor (Hagen))是最具经济重要性和破坏性的白蚁物种之一,但它的种群和群体繁殖结构的遗传情况仍不清楚。在这里,我们提出了 15 个多态微卫星基因座的引物序列和初步特征。在代表美国加利福尼亚州六个地理位置的 30 个个体样本中,每个基因座检测到 3 到 15 个等位基因分离。在一个单一的种群中,观察到的杂合度范围从 0.050 到 0.866。
