摘要: Relatedness and inbreeding coefficients were estimated for Oncothrips tepperi O. habrus, two species of eusocial gall-forming thrips, using data from microsatellite loci. between sets individuals (sexes castes) ranged 0.5 to 0.85 habrus estimates centered around 0.5. Multiple mating in was implicated lowering relatedness within a gall. We the coefficient be 0.38 both species, highest known insects. Our findings imply that high are important evolution form social behavior Australian Thysanoptera.
