Abstract excerpt
DNA fingerprints (DNAfp) were obtained for three widely separated samples of bee related to Lasioglossum marginatum using the M13 sequence as a probe. Bee samples were obtained from France (three localities separated by at most 20 km), Greece and India. All European populations exhibited almost identical profiles with similarity indices (S) of over 98% within a French sample, 94% among Greek bees and 90% between...
