Cryptic species diversity in a widespread bumble bee complex revealed using mitochondrial DNA RFLPs

2008-06-01

Abstract excerpt

Cryptic species diversity is thought to be common within the class Insecta, posing problems for basic ecological and population genetic studies and conservation management. Within the temperate bumble bee (Bombus spp.) fauna, members of the subgenus Bombus sensu stricto are amongst the most abundant and widespread. However, their species diversity is controversial due to the extreme difficulty or inability morphol...
