Abstract
Electrophoretic analysis of 18 enzyme loci in local populations of the tree-hole mosquito Aedes triseriatus (Say) from northwestern Indiana and southwestern Michigan revealed that genetic variability in these populations was quite extensive. The average heterozygosity (H) was 21.5%, and the proportion of polymorphic loci based on Criteria I and II was 0.720 and 0.495, respectively. The average genetic identity (I) was 0.994. Comparisons between oak and beech populations showed no tendency toward differentiation between oak and beech ecotypes.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
