Effects of Wolbachia on mtDNA variation in two fire ant species.

Molecular ecology - 1 Jul 2003

Dewayne Shoemaker D, Keller Gwen, Ross Kenneth G

Abstract excerpt

Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that infect arthropods. As they are maternally transmitted, the spread of Wolbachia variants within host populations may affect host mtDNA evolution. We sequenced a portion of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene from numerous individuals of two Wolbachia-infected fire ant species, Solenopsis invicta and S. richteri, to determine how these bacteria influence patterns of...
