Abstract excerpt

Cuticular hydrocarbons of laboratory breeds of four Argas (Persicargas) persicus (Oken) population samples were studied by gas chromatography. Cuticular hydrocarbon patterns were used to determine Nei's genetic distances among populations, and their average heterozygosity. Sixteen n-alkanes, 37 m...
