Complete separation along matrilines in a social spider metapopulation inferred from hypervariable mitochondrial DNA region.

Molecular ecology - 1 Aug 2010

Agnarsson I, Maddison W P, Avilés L

Abstract excerpt

The distribution and quantity of genetic diversity may be profoundly influenced by the emergence and dynamics of social groups. Permanent social living in spiders has resulted in the subdivision of their populations in more or less isolated colony lineages that grow, proliferate and become extinct without mixing with one another. A newly discovered hypervariable mitochondrial DNA region allowed us to examine the...
