An unusual phylogeography in the bushcricket: Ephippiger ephippiger from southern France

Article Abstract:

A study to examine the intraspecific phylogeography of Western European samples of E. Ephippiger is conducted as evidence indicates that bushcricket Ephippiger ephippiger has unusual patterns of intraspecific variation in multiple traits resulting from secondary contact after differentiation in Pleistocene refugia. A minimum evolution time showed little resolution between described subspecies of E. ephigger.

The breeding system and population structure of the termite Reticulitermes grassei in Southwestern France

Article Abstract:

The colony and population structure in three French populations was assessed of the termite Retuculitermes grassei using eight polymorphic microsatellite loci is discussed. The absence of the form of colony reproduction even within populations where it is expected to be common suggested that the propensity for colony budding may not be as common as suggested by the literature.

Detecting population structure using STRUCTURE software: effect of background linkage disequilibrium

Article Abstract:

Full dataset and the program STRUCTURE are used to detect the two subpopulations in the Kerguelen mouflon population. The result demonstrates how strong background linkage disequilibrium leads STRUCTURE to over estimate the number of clusters on a population genetic structure analysis.
