Differentiation between subpopulations of a polychromatic damselfly with respect to morph frequencies, but not neutral genetic markers.

Abstract excerpt

The damselfly, Nehalennia irene (Hagen), has two distinct female colour morphs. Individuals of one morph have male-like colouration and pattern (androchromes), whereas gynochromes are different from males and androchromes in these respects. In several damselflies, such female-limited polychromatism is attributable to a single genetic locus. We developed six polymorphic genetic markers, which were codominant, to...
