Constancy and divergence of amylase loci in four species of Tribolium (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae).
Isoamylases of three different developmental stages of four closely-related species of Tribolium are compared. Results suggest that a common embryonic amylase locus is highly conserved, whilst loci expressed in larval and adult stages have diverged. Implications of these findings for the evaluation of proposed cladistic relationships are discussed.
