Abstract excerpt
We compared patterns of intraspecific polymorphism of two markers with contrasted modes of evolution, nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), in the phytophagous mite Tetranychus urticae Koch. The second internal transcribed spacer (ITS2) of rDNA and a fragment in the mtDNA ge...
