Abstract excerpt

Sibling species pairs of sweat bees (Halictus confusus and H. tumulorum) and pine sawflies (Neodiprion pratti and N. maurus) were surveyed for genetic variability using enzyme electrophoresis. Levels of heterozygosity were found to be within the ranges earlier recorded for Hymenoptera. Expected h...
