title: Development of microsatellite loci for Blastophaga javana (Agaonidae), the pollinating wasp of Ficus hirta (Moraceae).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate genetic structure of the pollinator and, indirectly, gene flow in its plant host, Blastophaga javana microsatellite primers were developed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed using the Fast Isolation by AFLP of Sequences Containing (FIASCO) repeats protocol. Numbers of alleles per locus ranged from 2 to 19, with observed and expected heterozygosities ranging from 0.000 to 0.800 and from 0.000 to 0.925, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  These markers may be useful for further investigation of population genetics of Blastophaga javana and other congeneric species.
