Description
Summary:We identified 18 polymorphic, trinucleotide microsatellite loci for the solitary vespid wasp Monobia quadridens. These markers are to be used for parentage assessment and for studying population structure and inbreeding. Forty-eight diploid females from Southwest Michigan, USA were screened for allelic variation at each locus. Observed heterozygosities ranged from 0.50 to 0.88. The primers were also tested on two other solitary vespid wasps Ancistrocerus adiabatus and Ancistrocerus antilope.
