Abstract

AbstractThe newly developed microsatellite set for Reissita simonyi (Rebel 1899) (Lepidoptera, Zyganidae) is presented. In total, 14 loci turned out to be highly polymorphic. The microsatellite set will be used for a population genetic analysis of this endemic species in Southern Arabia. In the focus of this study stands the genetic differentiation and variability of isolated populations, which are assumed to be based on habitat fragmentation due to natural processes and human impact. Moreover, this new microsatellite set showed accurate band patterns in the Palaearctic genus Zygaena which seems to be promising for further studies.
