Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I gene (mtCO1) and the ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 region (ITS2) are among the most widely used molecular markers for insect taxonomic characterization. Three economically important species of thrips, Scirtothripsdorsalis, Thripspalmi, and Frankliniellaoccidentalis were selected to examine the extent of intragenomic variation within these two marker regions in the...
