Characterization of five microsatellite loci in the pine shoot beetle Tomicus piniperda (Coleoptera: Scolytidae)
Molecular Ecology Notes 3 (1), 100-101
Abstract: Tomicus piniperda is a bark beetle that causes damage to various pine species across a wide geographical range. We developed five microsatellite polymorphic markers using an enrichment protocol. All loci could be successfully amplified with no evidence of null alleles and will be useful for population genetic studies. Cross-species amplifications show that at least some of the markers could be useful in four other Tomicus species.
