Invasion genetics of the Mediterranean fruit fly: variation in multiple nuclear introns.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 1998

Villablanca F X, Roderick G K, Palumbi S R

Abstract excerpt

Biological invasions generally start from low initial population sizes, leading to reduced genetic variation in nuclear and especially mitochondrial DNA. Consequently, genetic approaches for the study of invasion history and population structure are difficult. An extreme example is the Mediterran...
