Characterization of microsatellite loci in the spruce bark beetle Ips typographus (Coleoptera: Scolytinae)
Molecular Ecology Notes 3 (3), 336-337
Abstract: Ips typographus is an economically important pest of Norway spruce stands. We developed five polymorphic microsatellite markers using a biotin enrichment protocol. The number of alleles ranged from three to 11 per locus and no strong evidence for null alleles was found. Heterozygosity ranged from 0.3 to 0.97. These markers could be useful tools to study the population structure and genetic consequences of I. typographus population outbreaks.
