Abstract excerpt
We report our characterization of the genetic variation within and differentiation among wild-collected populations of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, using microsatellite loci identified from its genome sequence. We find that global differentiation, estimated as the average F(ST) across all loci and between all population pairs, is 0.180 (95% confidence intervals of 0.142 and 0.218). A majority of our...
