Abstract excerpt
In this study the relatedness was estimated between mother queen's colony and her daughters' queens' colonies, by extracting DNA from their individual workers offspring (N= 20) and using five microsatellite loci. Locus As indicated more diversity in the length of alleles from 130 to 162 PB with frequency from 0.05 to 0.1, followed by locus A76 that showed alleles lengths 210 to 340 PB with frequency 0.05 to 0.2...
