Development of Genetic Markers Distinguishing Two Invasive Fire Ant Species (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and Their Hybrids

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

SummaryThree single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers were developed that were completely diagnostic in distinguishing the 2 fire ant species Solenopsis invicta Buren and Solenopsis richteri Forel (Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Although a 4th marker was not fully diagnostic, it was still useful given that one of the variants was confined to S. richteri. Joint use of these markers was shown to consistently distingu...
