Genetic Relationship Between Coptotermes gestroi and Coptotermes Vastator (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) [PDF]
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2007 The phylogenetic relationship of Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann) and Coptotermes vastator Light (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae) was determined using DNA sequence comparisons of mitochondrial genes. Partial sequences of the ribosomal RNA small subunit 12S, ribosomal RNA large subunit 16S, and mitochondrial COII were obtained from nine populations of C ...
