“…in a secondary rainy subtropical forest belonging to the Paranaense phytogeographical province (Atlantic Forest ecoregion). This species is not as behavioral aggressive as W. auropuntata but is considered as a pest, particularly in the cocoa plantations of the southeast and southwest regions of Bahia State, Brazil (Souza et al, 2009). Color variable from dark brown to yellowish brown in the workers of the same nest.…”

Formigas da espécie Wasmannia auropunctata (Roger, 1863) tem sido o foco de muitos estudos abordando o seu status de invasora, o seu sistema reprodutivo e o seu controle. Porém, poucos estudos têm analisado sua diversidade genética ou estudado novas técnicas para a identificação da espécie. No presente artigo foi estudada a diversidade de W. auropunctata em duas de suas regiões nativas, Brasil e Colômbia, testando novos métodos moleculares de identificação. Para tal, foi sequenciado o gene citocromo c oxidase subunidade I (COI), o espaçador intergênico (IGS), o RNA transportador (tRNA) e o gene citocromo c oxidase subunidade II (COII) de operárias de 31 localidades. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que 80% dos mitótipos identificados nunca haviam sido registrados anteriormente e que as amostras apresentaram uma alta diversidade haplotípica. A análise dos dados e comparação com diferentes estudos publicados indicam que o tRNA entre o IGS e o gene COII foi similar para todas as formigas dessa espécie, enquanto o IGS entre o gene COI e o tRNA variou em comprimento. Sendo assim, tais padrões poderiam contribuir para a identificação inter e intraespecífica, respectivamente. O presente trabalho demonstra a importância de mais estudos moleculares na área, uma vez que podem oferecer novas perspectivas sobre a diversidade da espécie, assim como métodos de identificá-la.

“…It has proved to be an appropriate method for obtaining genetic markers for many different kinds of organisms including insects, demanding no prior information about genomic organization (Kim & Sappington 2004). Due to these advantages, RAPD has been widely used to investigate genetic diversity and genetic structure of insects (reviewed by Behura 2006, Hiragi et al 2009, Souza et al 2009. Two major drawbacks of RAPD markers are their lack of reproducibility and the loss of complete genotypic information due to the fact that most RAPD bands are dominantly inherited (Lynch & Milligan 1994).…”

-The genetic diversity and genetic structure of three Chinese silkworm species Bombyx mori L., Antheraea pernyi Guérin-Meneville and Samia cynthia ricini Donovan were comparatively assessed based on RAPD markers. At the species level, A. pernyi and B. mori showed high levels of genetic diversity, whereas S. cynthia ricini showed low level of genetic diversity. However, at the strain level, A. pernyi had relatively highest genetic diversity and B. mori had lowest genetic diversity. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) suggested that 60% and 72% of genetic variation resided within strains in A. pernyi and S. cynthia ricini, respectively, whereas only 16% of genetic variation occurred within strains in B. mori. In UPGMA dendrogram, individuals of A. pernyi and B. mori formed the strain-specifi c genetic clades, whereas those of S. cynthia ricini were distributed in a mixed way. The implications of these results for the conservation and utilization in breeding programs of three silkworm species are discussed.
