title: PERMANENT GENETIC RESOURCES: Polymorphic microsatellite loci and interspecific cross-amplification in the parasitoid wasps Megastigmus stigmatizans and Megastigmus dorsalis.
abstract: We isolated and characterized 19 polymorphic microsatellite loci in the congeneric parasitoid wasps Megastigmus stigmatizans and Megastigmus dorsalis associated with cynipid oak galls. Loci isolated from species-specific libraries showed extensive cross-amplification, resulting in a total of 15 polymorphic loci for M. stigmatizans and 13 for M. dorsalis.
