Abstract excerpt
Bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata (Forster) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a common pest of soybean in the Midwest United States. However, there are currently no reports on the genetic variability of C. trifurcata. This study examined 15-30 individuals from 25 sample locations to estimate genetic variability and gene flow within and among C. trifurcata from across the Mid- west. Amplified fragment length...
