Microsatellite loci for the carpenter bee Xylocopa frontalis (Apidae, Xylocopini)

In the present study, a microsatellite-enriched genomic library was constructed and primers for 14 microsatellite loci were designed for Xylocopa frontalis . Twenty unrelated individuals were screened. All loci were polymorphic and the number of alleles per locus ranged from 6 to 17 (x = 10.43). Obs...

Description
Summary:In the present study, a microsatellite-enriched genomic library was constructed and primers for 14 microsatellite loci were designed for Xylocopa frontalis . Twenty unrelated individuals were screened. All loci were polymorphic and the number of alleles per locus ranged from 6 to 17 (x = 10.43). Observed (H o ) and expected (H e ) heterozygosities ranged from 0.350 to 0.950 and 0.674 to 0.898, respectively. All loci were in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, except one. The microsatellite loci described in this study will contribute towards general biology studies of X. frontalis , intranidal genetic relationships and nest management for the pollination of passion fruit.
