| permanent genetic resources added to molecular ecology resources database 1 august 2009-30 september 2009. | this article documents the addition of 238 microsatellite marker loci and 72 pairs of single nucleotide polymorphism (snp) sequencing primers to the molecular ecology resources database. loci were developed for the following species: adelges tsugae, artemisia tridentata, astroides calycularis, azorella selago, botryllus schlosseri, botrylloides violaceus, cardiocrinum cordatum var. glehnii, campylopterus curvipennis, colocasia esculenta, cynomys ludovicianus, cynomys leucurus, cynomys gunnisoni, ... | 2010 | 21565018 |
| co-evolution and symbiont replacement shaped the symbiosis between adelgids (hemiptera: adelgidae) and their bacterial symbionts. | the adelgidae (insecta: hemiptera), a small group of insects, are known as severe pests on various conifers of the northern hemisphere. despite of this, little is known about their bacteriocyte-associated endosymbionts, which are generally important for the biology and ecology of plant sap-sucking insects. here, we investigated the adelgid species complexes adelges laricis/tardus, adelges abietis/viridis and adelges cooleyi/coweni, identified based on their coi and ef1alpha genes. each of these ... | 2012 | 22364314 |
| interactive effects of host resistance and drought stress on the performance of a gall-making aphid living on norway spruce. | four full-sib families of norway spruce (picea abies), of which two were resistant to a galling aphid (adelges abietis) and two were susceptible, were exposed to drought stress for 2 years. the primary aim was to test the hypothesis that the various life stages of the aphid differ in their response to environmentally induced changes in the host plant. the drought treatment had a significant negative effect on tree growth. this was reflected in gall size which responded in a similar way to the dr ... | 2000 | 28308727 |
