Amplified mitochondrial DNA as a diagnostic marker for species of conifer-feeding Choristoneura (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Download1995
Hickey, D. A., Sperling, F. A. H.
Abstract: We describe a method for identifying conifer-feeding species and lineages of Choristoneura Lederer in Canada and Alaska. The method relies on amplification of mitochondrial (mt) DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR); amplified DNA is then digested with restriction enzymes to give...

Systematics of the Dioryctria abietella Species Group ( Lepidoptera : Pyralidae ) Based on Mitochondrial DNA
Download2008
Sperling, F. A. H., Roques, A., Dormont, L., Roux-Morabito, G., Stein, J., Gillette, N. E.
Abstract: Coneworms of the genus Dioryctria Zeller include several Serious pests of conifer seeds that are notoriously difficult to distinguish as species. We surveyed mitochondrial DNA variation within the abietella species group by sequencing 451 bp of cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) and 572...
