PCR-RFLP variation of the oak gall wasp, Andricus quercustozae (Bosc, 1792) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) from Turkey
Abstract
Oak gall wasp specimens collected in the summer of 2006-2008 from Turkey were studied using PCR-RFLP method for revealing intraspecific mitochondrial DNA variation of Andricus quercustozae (Bosc, 1792). A total of 28 haplotypes were detected among 95 individuals collected from 16 populations. The estimated average haplotype and nucleotide diversity were 0.45 and 0.05, respectively. The highest nucleotide divergence estimate among the analyzed oak gall wasp populations was 9.0% indicating an ancient split between A. quercustozae haplotypes. Dendrogram obtained using PHYLIP program indicated that there was a significant relationship between geographical distribution of haplotypes and their clustering. AMOVA analysis for estimation of the partitioning of genetic differentiation was statistically significant. This study shows that A. quercustozae populations have high amount of genetic diversity and form geographically significant groupings. It seems that varied topography and evolutionary history of Turkey play an important role in shaping the current population genetic structure of the species
