摘要: Gene flow was studied in Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), an exotic, arboreal ladybeetle predator that recently spread rapidly throughout North America. A survey of isozyme polymorphisms showed 30 52 resolved putative loci were polymorphic (58%), and the mean heterozygosity 16.75 6 2.98% among all 26.31 4.37% at only loci. The number alleles 2.01 1.97. frequencies estimated populations from Georgia, Virginia, Delaware, Rhode Island, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Oregon differed significantly (P F 0.02) 11 16 Three (Fbp, Est-1, Tre) not Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium are included statistics. Random mating indicated within (FIS 0.005 0.014) but (FST 5 0.025 0.005). According to Wright’s island model, FST estimates average reproducing immigrants be equivalent ca. 10 beetles per population generation. Thus there a measure genetic differentiation caused by drift, this small with respect large geographical distances sampled populations. data suggest founding American population(s) substantial. r1997Academic Press
