| patterns of population subdivision and gene flow in the ant nothomyrmecia macrops reflected in microsatellite and mitochondrial dna markers. | the australian endemic ant nothomyrmecia macrops is renowned for having retained a large proportion of 'primitive' morphological and behavioural characters. another less studied peculiarity of this species is the production of short-winged (brachypterous) female sexuals, which presumably are poor dispersers. the males, in contrast, bear a full set of normally developed wings and thus may disperse widely. we investigated patterns of genetic differentiation within and among three distantly separat ... | 2003 | 12919468 |
